Barbara Quinn's latest novel, 36C, is a curvy cure-all, a funny and heartwarming romp through the lingerie racks. Oh, for a life as full as your figure! Curvy Tressa Connell dreams of finding the right fellow, of putting her graphics art degree to work, and of traveling to Venice. Instead, she's stuck in a dead-end job selling lingerie to rail-thin women who prowl the high-end Manhattan boutique where she works. Hounded by a helmet-haired boss, befriended by a troubled Latina makeup artist, and wooed by a Jewish cop, Tressa also dreams that she has a giant grandfather clock strapped to her back, a bushel of eggs in her arms, and her mother cracking a Pampers whip over her head. Tressa navigates the "seamy" underworld of undergarments and struggles with the interfaith divide of her new romance. Can she find a perfect fit?
