Summary: |
Sophie Klein walks into a bar one Friday night and her life changes. She meets James Stephens: charismatic, elusive, and with a hosiery model ex who casts a long, thin shadow over their burgeoning relationship. He<U+2019>s clever, funny and shares her greatest pleasure in life--to eat and drink slightly too much and then have a little lie down. Sophie<U+2019>s instinct tells her James is too good to be true--and he is. An exploration of love, heartbreak, self-image, self-deception and lots of food. Pear-Shaped is in turns smart, laugh-out-loud funny and above all, recognizable to women everywhere. |
