Description
________________________ 'There is no mistaking Trapido's narrative talent: racy, vibrant and witty' - Guardian 'Reading it is rather like being bombarded with sequins' - Observer ________________________ Ali Bobrow is a single parent with a fraught nine-year-old daughter, a malevolent ex with a grabby new wife, and an underused artistic talent. A pushover when it comes to needy neighbours and uninvited children, she allows her house to be the local drop-in centre, until she collides with Noah Glazer. A solid man of science, Noah walks into Ali's life bringing good sense, order and security. But ten years on, Ali is drawn back into the complexities of her past: an old lover, two ex-spouses, a colleague from clown school and a small smuggled cat all help to rock the boat. ________________________ 'The plot's interplay of flashbacks and digressions, which prompt bright dialogue and dark complications, recalls Matisse's line and palette. Some sentences can be relished in isolation, like fine brushwork' - New Yorker 'Full of wisecracks, efficiency, carnal delights, and love of children . warm and comic' - The Times 'Funny, sexy, glowing' - TimeOut
