This was an unusual book - a little bit of fairy tale, a little bit of satire (a bit Fay Weldon-ish in tone), completely entertaining.
Imagine a woman so beautiful that she hides her beauty under a disguise and she hides the shape of her body under a fat suit. Imagine her best friend Lily, a pianist extraordinaire whose music is pumped into stores and creates buying frenzies for books or clothes or staplers - and who is able to bring her stunning inner beauty outward by playing some magical music. There is even a threat of murder to keep the suspense - and the hope of love for the lead characters.
