Linda works the tills at Safeshop. It's what everyone does. The grammar school girls get the careers; the college girls get the two-bit college courses and the low-wage jobs. But when model agent Rafe brings his disposable razors to Linda's till, he recognizes the raw talent that could transform both their lives. Almost overnight, Linda becomes Crystalline, a supermodel catapulted onto the international stage. But in the blur of first class flights and flashy restaurants, will she begin to forget where Crystalline ends and Linda begins?
The bittersweet story of a young checkout girl's rise to fame, this is prize-winning playwright Jim Cartwright's first novel. Bearing the hallmarks of his best-loved plays, The Rise And Fall Of Little Voice and Road, this rollicking debut takes the reader on a journey from which there is no going back.
