Editorial Reviews of Daniella Brodsky’s novels: “This is so much fun!” - #1 New York Times Bestseller Nora Roberts “A super fun read with everything you could want . . .” - #1 New York Times Bestseller Meg Cabot "You'll get a kick out of Brodsky's books."-NY Post "Readers will simply love Lane and her wild imagination." -Booklist “ . . . powerful stuff and also very funny.” – Sydney Morning Herald “ . . . poignantly humorous and touching.” – Herald Sun “ . . . you’ll be cheering her on as she loosens her tight grip on the past and embraces a life on her own two feet.” – Women’s Weekly THE PATRONS It’s a simple exchange; but it changes everything. “This is my card,” he said. “You call me whenever you need to.” A saucy romp through the nation’s capital is the most entertaining way yet to take the topic of starving artistry to a practical, raw level. Maybe in the old days they had it right: if you want to make pure, quality art, what you need is a patron. Two nights ago, in the wake of her father’s fatal diagnosis, Joanie Price told her husband she was leaving him in a Connecticut PC Richards, drove without a plan to DC, and didn’t tell a soul. Her husband proceeded to empty the bank accounts. “Have you thought of how many men would enjoy your company in this town?” And so it begins. Compulsively readable, it’s wickedly enjoyable to see ourselves in Joanie’s shoes, and as we do, her erotic experiment hurtles us through a story of self-discovery that’s transformative, witty and enduring. Daniella Brodsky is the author of six novels published by Penguin, Random House, and Simon & Schuster, most recently, VIVIAN RISING and most famously DIARY OF A WORKING GIRL, which was adapted for the screen by Disney, starring Hilary Duff. She has also had a long career as a journalist and made a name for herself with THE GIRL’S GUIDE TO NEW YORK nightlife, back when she didn’t need a babysitter and a disco nap to stay out past seven. Daniella has taught fiction craft at the ANU and at her Captain Cook Studio.

Daniella was a Varuna fellowship recipient, and shortlisted for the Katharine Susannah Prichard Fellowship. www.daniellabrodsky.com.

Ford I had to wait a few days before I wrote my review. The story is written well and the characters we get to know best certainly do leap off the page. But the story itself.....I did read the synopsis before beginning and it sounded intriguing, however, now that I'm on the other end of the last page....it just didn't completely resonate with me. I like to feel like I can connect with the main character, and Joanie....well, there's nothing of which I could connect with. Not to say that someone else won't, but personally, I didn't really like her as a character. And honestly, I think Johno was my favorite character, although I'm not very happy with some of his actions either. I can see the allure of that kind of lifestyle - tons of sex, living expensively, a slight break from reality. But it's that break from reality that seems to disturb me a bit. Not knowing the details about a Patron, for example, if he's married and, by being a Patron, cheating on his wife. That bothers me. And for Joanie, the break from the reality of knowing whether or not her father has passed. Honestly, to me, that's horrible. I get that people deal with death in their own way, and that she did struggle with it, but as far as I'm concerned, she didn't struggle enough.Being set against the 2008 presidential election was lost on me as I am not a politics person. I thought since it's set in Washington D.C., and I've been there, that this would overshadow the politics for me. I wasn't so lucky, some of the conversations and Joanie's thoughts and feelings were so deeply political that it left my head spinning. Those parts I found boring and it made me not want to pick the book back up, which is part of why it took me so long to read it.However, if you like politics, and your intrigued by the lifestyle of a kept woman, you should read it.

The Patrons By Samantha J I received a review copyI have read others by Daniella Brodsky, though I knew simply from the cover and synopsis this would be pretty different from Princess of Park Avenue and Diary of a Working Girl. From the first few pages that was made pretty clear, as this book has a serious and more mature subject matter. Joanie is in the process of leaving her husband and turns to a different lifestyle – filled with sex, multiple men, and lavish gifts for her services. I struggled from the beginning to form a connection with Joanie. Sure our lifestyles are not similar, but something just felt off to me the whole time with her. The chapters and sections are also quite long, which in turn made this read at a slower pace for me. There is a lot of politics intermingled throughout the book, and I didn’t quite see the significance of that minor plot point. It was still a very interesting read and one that I thought could be quite thought-provoking, I just had a hard time keeping my attention focused on the book. I do love Brodsky’s other, lighter offerings though, and I hope to read more of those soon!
13 of 14 people found the following review helpful. The Patrons By Kindle Customer This is the story of an unsatisfied woman who is seeking to find her true self. (Aren`t we all?) She blunders into a new lifestyle as she attempts to analyze herself and life in general. At times tedious and puffed-up it was different and thought provoking. Not a book for every reader. R rated for language and theme.
