Which, in Suzanne’s case, involves stomach pumping, rehab, drugs, relationships, anxiety, insecurities and oh-so-much wit and self-deprecation.īeginning with Suzanne in rehab as she records the day-to-day goings on and puts down her musings into quick, short bursts of narrative, Postcards ultimately follows the formerly acclaimed actress through the early days of her recovery, going from the clinic, to her first years out of the clinic, and from trying to find work again in Hollywood to all the relationships she forges and loses along the way. Primarily following the story of actress Suzanne Vale, Postcards from the Edge shatters that glamorous Hollywood myth by taking readers inside the reality. Which is a shame, because this novel is razor sharp, funny and completely different to most novels sat on your shelves right now. ![]() Cult classic it may be, but there’s no denying Postcards from the Edge is going through a recent publication resurgence because the author, actress and Star Wars icon Carrie Fisher passed away last year. ![]()
