Dinner at Mr. B's

Dinner Party Like No Other!Dinner at Mr. B's, transports readers to l958 New York at the grand juncture of cafe society and the jet set for an addictive, no-holds barred, gloves-off tale of a New York City dinner party like no other. When polio brutally strikes down one of America's most beloved ballerinas, Tanaquil LeClercq, her grieving husband, ballet impresario, George Balanchine defiantly decides to throw a gala party, and surround himself with attractive, interesting people having a good time. What possibly could go wrong? His hand-selected guest list suggests a carefree evening. But each of his guests - the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Truman Capote, Cecil Beaton, Marilyn Monroe, Diana Vreeland, Pat Buckley, Pamela Churchill, and Robert Maxwell - brings their own drama to his table. As the evening wears on, Mr. B's' dinner party more closely resembles grand opera, with lust, jealousy, avarice, obsession and revenge, leading to a scandalous conclusion.
