Oh, for a life as full as your figure. 36C the new novel by Barbara Quinn explores life in a lingerie shop. Curvy Tressa Connell is stuck in a dead-end job at a Manhattan boutique selling lingerie to rail-thin women. Hounded by a helmet-haired boss, befriended by a troubled Latina makeup artist, and wooed by a Jewish cop, Tressa navigates the "seamy" underworld of undergarments looking for a perfect fit in life and love. - September 22, 2006
