But then an unexpected disaster threatens her career prospects, her relationship with Luke, and her available credit line! Shopaholic Takes Manhattan-but will she have to return it? Nothing can stand in their way, especially with Becky's bills miles away in London. Surely it's only a matter of time until she becomes an American TV celebrity, and she and Luke are the toast of Gotham society. But packing takes on a whole new meaning when Luke announces he's moving to New York for business-and he asks Becky to go with him! Before you can say "Prada sample sale," Becky has landed in the Big Apple, home of Park Avenue penthouses and luxury boutiques. And worse, figuring out how to pack light.
With her shopping excesses (somewhat) in check and her career as a TV financial guru thriving, Becky's biggest problem seems to be tearing her entrepreneur boyfriend, Luke, away from work for a romantic country weekend. She has her share of critics, too, who have dismissed her books as "chick-lit," especially given her privileged background and her education she studied economics at Oxford University.The irresistible heroine of Confessions of a Shopaholic and Shopaholic Ties the Knot is back! And this time Becky Bloomwood and her credit cards are headed across the Atlantic. "Well, I've done it over a long span of time, so, I have children ranging from 18 down to 2," she said. She has five children and somehow still finds time to do it all. "The only disadvantage is that I am sometimes away with the fairies when I should be focused on them," she said. And Kinsella, who writes in the first person, admits there are sometimes blurred lines between her fictional and family life.
She invited CBS News to her London townhouse for a rare glimpse of the home she shares with husband Henry. Sophie Kinsella is just a pen-name she used for her shopaholic series.
In real life, she's author Madeline Wickham. "And I step into her shoes and look at the world through her eyes and off we go." "When I come to a new book I'm like, 'hi Becky, let's have some fun together,'" she said.
