‘A delicate, poignant modern romance about a shy shopgirl’ Richard Corliss
Mirabelle Buttersfield spends her days selling expensive evening gloves in Beverly Hills’ finest store, and her nights watching television and drawing darkly gothic pictures.
Adrift in the world and lonely, she has few customers, so spends most of her time leaning on the counter staring into space. But then two men enter her life: Jeremy, a roadie for a band, and Mr Ray Porter, a middle-aged millionaire who invites her out to dinner.
Funny, tender, and insightful, Shop Girl is a coming of age story set against the backdrop of LA’s false noses and falser people – from one of our best loved comic writers.
