Ruth is in a state. The kind of state where you might put a hedgehog under the wheel before reversing, or pull on rubber underwear before running drugs to a colleague. Things aren't going to get any... This description may be from another edition of this product.

me too.. clearance bin

i also found this in the clearance bin of a big name bookstore. years ago. and its one of my all-time favorite books. since then have periodically done searches trying to find anything else written by this author.. to no avail. can't find any info at all on her really.. strange.

This was in the clearance bin??!

Yeah, well I found this buried in the clearance shelves at the local Borders the other day...had never heard of the author or the publisher (DIVA). And I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Shades of The Bell Jar and Martin Amis pop in, and it's got a terrific dark humor throughout which I swore was British in nature, but I see that the author is English only by residence. The main character definitely incarnates the whole Eros/Thanatos deal!The next to last chapter is quite upsetting to read, and I mean that in a positive way. Looking forward to see whether Ms. Maxwell writes anything else in the future. So if you're into Martin Amis, Stephen Wright, Will Self and Irvine Welsh, you could do worse than getting this novel.
