Desperate to Be a Housewife
Meg Bortin
"Tear gas and college riots in the '60s, Paris and love in the '70s, Gorbachev's Moscow and Afghan missiles in the '80s, Meg Bortin - aka Mona Venture - saw it all, did it all and wrote it all up, while enjoying serial love affairs and a lot of great meals along the way. More than a thrilling memoir, this is also an enthralling book about sex, love and the evolving challenges of being a woman in our time."
- Martin Walker, author of The Cold War: A History and the Bruno, Chief of Police mystery novels.
Meet Mona Venture, Meg Bortin's alter ego in this exuberant memoir. She's young, she's modern, and she's desperate to solve a problem: how to reconcile her life as an independent woman with her longing for happily-ever-after.
Bortin, an American in Paris, has changed the names of the people portrayed in her story - in order, she says, to protect the guilty. As Mona Venture, she crosses paths with the famous and infamous amid many misadventures with men. Sexy, candid and occasionally hilarious, her story will resonate with anyone who has wondered how women of our time have found their way through a minefield of changing roles - and lived to tell the tale.
