Just Dessert, Dear
Clara Brand is burning for revenge. Her husband has left her and their three children for a younger, sexier (and of course also skinnier) friend - the kind of girl who can't even boil an egg. Clara, a food writer and gourmet, wants to serve them a cold, cold dish. In correspondence spanning a decade, the story unfolds of a woman who manages to cope, in spite of everything. Just Dessert, Dear is a clever, sophisticated, modern version of the traditional epistolary novel, with e-mails and text messages playing a crucial role in the thickening of the plot. It is deliciously frank and funny, wise and witty, written with the author's acclaimed insight and verve.
