Tracy Whitney, with an inexplicable familiarity associated
with the name follows the thread and crux of the novel. Her downfall and her
eventual expiation and tribulations in the slammer were the driving force of
the novel. It was quite effortless yet charming to read the first part of the
novel until she descended into the fateful life of a con artist. It was
disappointing to note that the novel could not maintain the pace and also
sustain the interest in the reader once Tracy degraded herself into a con
artist. Moreover, Sheldon’s hasty writing left so many loopholes in an
otherwise exciting novel. Yet, Tracy Whitney’s meteoric rise from the ashes is
definitely a testament to the new found assertiveness the young woman of the
80’s were so much looking for.
