A joyously satisfying will-they-won`t-they love story about a young woman finding her feet and forging her own destiny, set against the backdrop of the Trinidadian beauty industry Bianca Bridge has always dreamt of becoming a writer. But Trinidadian high society can be unforgiving, and having an affair with a married government minister is a sure-fire way to ruin your prospects. When Obadiah Cortland, make-up artist and legend in the island`s beauty scene, offers her a job as a lowly assistant, Bianca reluctantly accepts it`s the closest to her dreams she`s going to get. But Obadiah has a reputation for being aloof and tyrannical, and it will take all the strength her mother taught her to endure it. `The God of Good Looks` may be as fierce as she`d been warned, but there are surprises to discover in Bianca`s new role: unexpected friendships, the art and artistry involved in make-up, and a revolution in her idea of what it really means to be beautiful. Most surprising of all, she begins to suspect there might be cracks in Obadiah`s carefully crafted façade. Could it be she`s not the only one who knows how easy it is to tumble down the social ladder? Sparkling, big-hearted and life-affirming, The God of Good Looks is a story about prejudice and pride, the masks we wear, and what we can become if we dare to take them off.
