Novelist Guy Ableman is in thrall to his vivacious wife Vanessa, beautiful but contrary, highly strung and blazingly angry. The trouble is, he is no less in thrall to her alluring mother, Poppy. Their provocative presence fills Guy's head with stories so wild he can't concentrate to write them.Not that anyone reads anymore, anyway. Reading, Guy fears, is finished. His publisher, fearing the same, has committed suicide. His agent, like all agents, is in hiding. Vanessa, however, is writing her own novel. Guy dreads the consequences…Our funniest writer at his brilliant best, Zoo Time is a novel about love – love of women, love of literature, love of laughter.

  • Anna Shuraevahas quoted9 years ago
    Give a man a word or two more than the common and he’ll always find a woman to revere him. Fill a woman’s mouth with words and she’ll scare the living daylights out of the other sex.
