Synopsis
In the aftermath of the 2003 Academy Awards, Max and Elena- he's an Oscar-winning writer/director-open their Holywood Hills home to a group of friends and neighbors, industy insiders and hangers-on, eager to escape the outside world and dissect the latest news, gossip, and secrets of the business. Over the next ten days, old lovers collide, new relationships form, and sparks fly, all with Smiley's signature sparkling wit and characterization.
With its breathtaking passion and sexy irreverence, Ten Days in the Hills is a glowing addition to the work of one of our most beloved novelists.

Reviews
Boring. Endless and boring. Couldn't even finish, it just went on and on and on and seemed to go nowhere. If you like stories with lots of detail with no goal, this is the book for you.
I have liked Smiley's other novels but this was so detailed and boring I actually couldn't finish it.
I have wondered how boring a book could be. After listening to 2 discs of this book, I know I have found the ultimate.
I keep thinking I like Jane Smiley's books, then I pick one up and remember that I liked A Thousand Days, and quit reading part way through the rest. I guess hope springs eternal, but Ten Days was as vapid and self-absorbed as Moo and Horse Heaven.
