With smart, savvy women, all over the age of 40 and not depending on men for validation, this is a very modern debut novel. Naomi Barker achieves authenticity in her writing from her own personal knowledge of all the exotic settings featured through the story, and readers will relate to the high flying characters who all struggle to cope with their own baggage.
Lola Delphine is a fantastically fun read, and is already being considered for adaptation to the big screen. Naomi Barker has been encouraged to share what Lola does next, and take her readers out of the mundanity of now and into Lola’s world again.
Lola Delphine
British fashion designer Lola Delphine pulls up to the Casino de Monte-Carlo. Unbeknownst to her, she has been followed by established art dealer Jack Alistair, her first love. They have not spoken in twenty-three years due to an overheard secret about Lola’s past. Not realizing it is Lola until she steps out of the car, he is intrigued. Then he sees the unmistakable crescent-moon-shaped scar on her leg.
Set against the glamorous backdrop of the Côte d’Azur and London’s hotspots, this is a modern love story with adventure, mystery, a sprinkling of cheeky British humour, and quite a lot of naughtiness. It’s a VIP pass to the fast-paced world of art, music, and fashion taking place in exotic locales.
The story follows the journey of Jack and Lola. Both are running from broken hearts while resisting temptations from an American film star, a French supermodel, a famous rock star, and Annika Barinov, a femme fatale Romanian billionaire. Signs and symbols from the universe guide them in the right direction. This is an inspiring tale about people finding their inner truths and discovering who they are and what they want.
Naomi Barker
Naomi Barker isa British writer who has lived on four continents but currently resides in the US. Naomi comes from a creative background and has a history in equestrian sports. A love of art, music, travel, fashion, and all things rock and roll have inspired her to make her first novel, Lola Delphine, as genuine as possible.
“Lola Delphine is a transportive story about people who seem to have the perfectly glamorous life; however, they are all running from some kind of baggage. Amazing coincidences and lucky signs guide them in the right direction. This happened when I was writing the book. One could call it the universe steering the story.
“I have visited all the places in the book, which features some of the best restaurants and hotels in the world including the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc and the Lanesborough Hotel where I was born when it was St. George’s Hospital. All the places in the story have received a copy of Lola Delphine and are very excited about it. This includes J.Sheekey, Scott’s, Langans, La Colombe d’Or and Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club.
“I have two close friends who were incredibly generous in lending their creative geniuses. Will Martyr who is a well-known British painter who allowed me to use his painting for the front cover, and James Pearson who is a world-class jazz pianist who composed the score for my audiobook and is also the music director of Ronnie Scott’s. He is also creating a Lola Delphine soundtrack album. We were in theatre club together in Hertfordshire when we were seven years old!
“There is a famous musician behind the rockstar character which is a fun cheeky “I’ll never tell story,” all coming from personal experiences. Film producers are considering Lola, and they say that it would make a great film or Netflix series. I have also been featured in several magazine articles in the US and appeared on a morning TV show. I have had many different experiences that have inspired this story. To name a few: toured with a Broadway show, toured with famous musicians, ran a successful art business and lived on four continents.”
