YOUR NEXT READ FROM THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR of ROMANTIC COMEDY PREP and
AMERICAN WIFE 'M essy and delicious' New York Times 'Sittenfeld is in a league of her own'
Guardian ' One of my favourite authors' KATE ATKINSON author of Death at the Sign of the
Rook 'Anything Sittenfeld writes we'll read' People 'She understands women so well like
having someone look straight into your soul' Reader review***** ______ Razor-sharp
glittering tales exploring marriage fame and female friendship from the Sunday Times
bestselling author . In this compulsive collection of twelve witty stories Sittenfeld shows
why she's as beloved for her short fiction as she is for her novels as she conjures up
characters so real that they seem like old friends. In 'The Patron Saints of Middle Age ' a
woman visits two friends she hasn't seen since her divorce. In 'A for Alone ' a married artist
embarks on a project intended to disprove the so-called Mike Pence Rule which suggests that
women and men can't spend time alone together without lusting after each other. And in 'Lost
but Not Forgotten ' Sittenfeld gives readers of her novel Prep a new window into the world of
her beloved character Lee Fiora decades later when Lee attends an awkward school reunion.
Witty confronting and full of tenderness Sittenfeld peels back layer after layer of our inner
lives keeping us riveted to the page with her utterly distinctive voice. READERS CAN'T GET
ENOUGH OF CURTIS SITTENFELD: 'Small windows into modern life and as such highly entertaining.
Curtis you're a star !' ***** 'Sittenfeld understands women so well it's like having
someone look straight into your soul'***** ' Devoured ! You'll recognise yourself and others
in these pages' ***** ' No-one else writes with such precision and amusement' Red Magazine
