Sex and the City fans to get new book about Carrie Bradshaw’s pre-fashionista years
If you cannot wait any longer for the second Sex and the City movie, a new book about Carrie Bradshaw’s pre-fashionista years is set to be released.
Writer Candace Bushnell, who created the hit series’ lead character in a newspaper column that became a book, has now penned the first ‘prequel’ – The Carrie Diaries.
Set to be published next week in the US, the eagerly awaited teen novel looks at the character’s life as a high school senior in a small town in Connecticut.
It has been described as a coming-of-age story that traces Carrie’s evolving fashion sense, her early romantic relationships and dreams of becoming a writer.
“I think it’s always fascinating to go back and see the things that formed a character,” said Bushnell. “And I’ve always wanted to write a book about a young girl who comes to the big city. That’s partly my story.”
The 51-year-old moved to New York at 19 with hopes of becoming a writer.
She told USA Today: “It was a fascinating time, and it was always something I wanted to write about. But there’s actually nothing that happened to me that happens in the book. It’s completely fictional.”
