Deception, Rivalry, Murder: A New York City Love Story

The Leonard Lopate Show | Feb 11, 2015

Amanda Filipacchi talks about her new novel, The Unfortunate Importance of Beauty. Barb, the beautiful costume designer, makes herself ugly in hopes of finding true love. Lily, the plain-looking musician, goes to fantastic lengths to attract the man who has rejected her. And as if life isn't stressful enough, there just might be a murderer in their midst.
