Jednom ko nijednom

Jednom ko nijednom

Jacqueline Susann

This novel is about a beautiful, noble, and rich girl who seemingly has everything, but is still deeply unhappy and ends her life tragically.

The story follows January Wayne, a young, beautiful, and seemingly privileged girl, the daughter of famous film producer Mike Wayne. Despite her wealth and seemingly perfect life, January is deeply unhappy, struggling with an emotional void and searching for love and meaning.

After a serious accident and recovery, January returns from Europe to New York, where she faces her father’s financial problems, his new marriage, and her own feelings of not belonging. The novel explores her relationships with various men, including the older, wealthy, but emotionally unavailable David Milford, and her obsession with the famous writer Tom Colt, whose charismatic but destructive nature further complicates her life. Through January’s search for love and identity, Susann uncovers the dark side of the celebrity world, interweaving themes of addiction, sexuality, power, and family relationships.

The style of the novel is characterized by Susann’s signature approach – melodramatic yet engaging, focusing on the glamorous backdrop of high society and her own hidden flaws. The book is known for its provocative themes, including explicit depictions of sexuality and drugs, which have caused controversy but also contributed to its popularity. The tragic ending emphasizes the impossibility of finding lasting fulfillment in a world marked by superficiality.

The novel was adapted into a film in 1975, but the book remains more significant for its impact on popular culture, cementing Susannah's status as the first author to have three consecutive best-sellers. It is intended for readers who enjoy dramatic stories of love, celebrity, and social intrigue.
