‘A rich and intelligent meditation of female identity, written in beguiling lyrical prose…heady and intoxicating’ LUCY SCHOLES, Sunday Times
After Mia Fredrickson’s husband of thirty years asks for a pause – to indulge his infatuation with a young French colleague – she cracks up (briefly), rages (deeply), then decamps to the prairie town of her childhood to consider her position. It’s a familiar scenario, though what transpires in this provocative, mordant and vivacious tragicomedy is anything but predictable.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Yahoo – I have two copies of this, which is not a coincidence as I was agonising over making a bookcrossing release of this copy while on holiday but very likely not getting the chance to read it. Anticipating a detailed lot of meditating that would go along with the reading I figure not fretting over time required would be essential. So - yahoo - a cake and eating it celebration!!!
To be released in Orkney in June or early July.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Hello BOOK FINDER, if you aren't familiar with BookCrossing – WELCOME!
BookCrossers LOVE books, and more than anything, they love to read books then set them free for other people to find and enjoy.
I would love it if you would leave a note/journal entry – perhaps; where you found the book; or how you liked it if you read it and where you left it. Do take a few minutes to check out this site. You can remain anonymous if you wish – though if you do decide to join BookCrossing – joining’s free and confidential! If you are a bookcrosser and add notes to a books journal page you can follow the books trail as ‘Book Journal Alerts’, sent directly to you, keep you up-to-date with its progress.
It’s a fun surprise for others to find BookCrossing books in cafes, waiting rooms, public areas alongside information stands, and even sheltered places in beauty spots - zip-seal plastic bags are useful in that instance! Once ready, please pass this book on to other readers to keep it travelling! HAPPY READING!
I left this at The REEL [a wonderful music school, shop, cafe and recording studios] Fri 19 Jun 2015 on the lower window-sill on the buildings main interior staircase.
