The book offers a critical definition of the genre and situates it within a broader landscape of women's reading, as well as broader historical landscapes, considering the ways it exemplifies the excess of the 1980s and its relation to other popular media of the time. Burge and McAlister employ a unique methodology, drawing on focus group and book club research conducted with British and Australian women who read bonkbusters in the 1970s-1990s, that is replicable for future genre and reception studies research"-- Provided by publisher;
