杰奎琳·苏珊（Jacqueline Susann），一生富裕，荣宠一身，充满传奇色彩。

作为小说家，她是美国出版界的传奇人物。处女作《纯真告别》（Valley of the Dolls）于1966年出版，先后被翻译成30种语言，累计销售逾三千一百万册。她也是第一位连续三部作品荣登《纽约时报》（New York Times）畅销书排行榜首位的作者。

作为流行传奇，她十八岁时只身闯荡纽约，获得“费城最美小姐”的称号。演艺圈的生活给予苏珊源源不断的灵感，她以生动细腻的语言叙写了最为精彩曲折的故事，每一个在跌宕动人的故事中追寻的人物身上似乎都有她灵魂深处的影子。

作者真诚坦言，再也写不出另一部和《纯真告别》媲美的作品——“我把一生放在故事中，倾尽所有的爱和热情，关于友谊和人生的隐秘和幸福，一生只有一次。”

*与《飘》《杀死一只知更鸟》列吉尼斯全球三大畅销小说

*《时代周刊》《纽约客》《纽约时报》《人物》《名利场》、美国国家公共电台、Bookpage一致推荐“百年好书”！

Its three protagonists--Anne Welles, the uptight-but-full-of-a-strange-yearning New England beauty; Neely O'Hara, the Judy Garland á clef; and Jennifer North, who is sort of the Marilyn Monroe á clef and also sort of the Brigitte Bardot á clef but mainly sort of the least realized character in the book--all spend most of the novel with what they want excruciatingly just out of reach, and all are ultimately not only defeated but self-defeating ... I should say, first of all, that I have absolutely no criticisms to make of this book. It is perfect, and I'm not just saying that because I practically memorized it at the age of 13 and it was one of my primary illicit sources of sexual information in the gap between information and experience, and I therefore view it with fond nostalgia.... However melodramatic its plot may be, Valley of the Dolls is simply old-fashioned riveting.
