Debbie Mullen está al límite. Durante años ha ofrecido útiles y juiciosos consejos en su columna semanal, «Querida Debbie», a la que las mujeres de Nueva Inglaterra acuden en busca de empatía y sabiduría cotidiana. Gracias a su trabajo ha escuchado a innumerables esposas ignoradas, menospreciadas o incluso maltratadas por sus maridos. Y Debbie siempre hace lo posible por guiarlas en la dirección correcta.
O, al menos, lo hacía.
Últimamente, su vida está fuera de control. Acaba de perder su trabajo. Algo raro está ocurriendo con sus hijas adolescentes. Y su marido guarda secretos, o eso parece a juzgar por la aplicación de geolocalización que ella misma ha instalado en su móvil. Pero Debbie ya está harta de hacer lo moralmente correcto. Harta de ser sensata y práctica. Ha llegado el momento de seguir sus propios consejos.
Y ha llegado, también, la hora de la revancha contra todas las personas de su vida que más se lo merecen.

The kind of fame and success The Rolling Stones have achieved in their 60-plus year career is without parallel; their most famous riffs and catchiest lyrics are indelibly engraved in our collective memory. With their mesmerizing on- and off-stage presence, the Stones set the standard for how a rock band should sound, pose, pout, and behave. They were the first to instinctively understand that what you looked like was as important as the music, and that photography had a vital role in promoting that image.
“The clothes and the hair are always impeccable,” describes author Lucy Sante. “They were playing themselves, but with such consistent finesse you knew they were instinctively aware of the camera and how good they will look in the photos.” Unsurprisingly many of the greatest photographers in the history of the medium wanted to take their picture.
Produced in close collaboration with the band, this edition charts the Stones’ remarkable history and outrageously cool lifestyle in over 500 pages of photographs and illustrations, gathered from archives all over the world. Unprecedented access to the Rolling Stones’ own archives in New York and London adds an equally extraordinary, more private side to their story. For Mick, Keith, Charlie, and Ronnie this is and was their official photographic record.
