Jules Mendelson is wealthy. Astronomically so. He and his wife lead the kind of charity-giving, art-filled, high-society life for which each has been carefully groomed. Until Jules falls in love with Flo March, a beautiful actress/waitress. What Flo discovers about the superrich is not a pretty sight. And in the end, she wants no more than what she was promised. But when Flo begins to share the true story of her life among the Mendelsons, not everyone is in a listening mood. And some cold shoulders have very sharp edges. . . . From the Paperback edition.… (meer)

First edition good

I liked this for the most part, but this portrayal of Los Angeles high society in its village-like atmosphere - everyone knows everyone and everything about everyone, was getting rather unbelievable in that there is only one coffee shop, one hair dresser, one flower person - but maybe that is the way it is with rich people. Probably written to account for Monroe's death conspiracies, although that gets mentioned only once. And I had the feeling that the writer had written himself into the book as potentially the only likable character. (

Jules + Pauline Mendelson rick L.A. people - Flo his mistress - how lies + deceits all intertwine - good.

An Inconvenient Woman centers on the affair between married Jules Mendelson, an extremely influential member of Los Angeles high society, and Flo March, a diner waitress and aspiring actress whose life is transformed by the illicit relationship until she finds herself the inconvenient woman of the title.

Guilty pleasure. The super rich, and how they socialise. Dominic Dunne has a sharp ear for dialogue. Crammed with wonderful gossip and the unexpected connections between people. (

partially told from the viewpoint of Flo March, Jules Mendelsohn's mistress, but you also understand how his wife, the beautiful, organized, high-class wife Pauline. It was an ideal marriage, a great partnership, but Jules had always got his own way... (
