Getting Even is not a rom-com, it's an after-it-all-goes-horribly-wrong-com. (there’s really no romance except for Shug fancying the pants off Ella). Anyway, ever had a laugh contemplating the most ridiculous revenge on that arse of an ex, shaken your head and moved on? Not Kathy. Kathy sees it all the way through. . . Kathy is thoroughly fed up of being on the wrong end of a series of break-ups, and at forty, she can safely say that she is absolutely and completely scunnered. There’s only one thing for it: it’s time to get even. After searching for other lovelorn souls with their own axes to grind, she masterminds the ultimate schemes to get back at their exes. What could possibly go wrong? Until . . . Housemate Sheena figures out what the whole star-crossed gang is up to and has got a taste for revenge of her own. Wonder if you can guess who she enlists to help her? With a large measure of deviousness and a cast of Scottish characters – including plastic surgeons and a lovable Glasgow gangster – Getting Even turns out to be quite the business!Mostra libro

A “wildly funny” novel of a monumentally unsuccessful newspaper strike in 1960s upstate New York from a Pulitzer Prize–winning author (People). The newspaper strike has stretched on for more than a year. When it began, the Guild boasted over 250 members. Now, they’re down to eighteen, with only three truly serious about the cause. Their leader, Bailey, is a columnist with an outsize sense of his own importance and a hatred of scabs that borders on fanaticism. Married to a roller derby queen, but smitten with one of his fellow radicals, Bailey is on a path of self-destruction that could take the entire city’s newspaper establishment down along with him. And that’s just what he has in mind. With the cape-wearing old-school Rosenthal at his side, Bailey embarks on a mad mission: hijacking the newspaper’s entire ink shipment and dumping it in the snow. But he’s hardly taken his first step when the scheme spins out of control, trapping him between armies of gypsies, scabs, and the wildest hippies New York has to offer. Set in a city closely resembling his native Albany, the fiction debut of William Kennedy is “a bawdy Celtic romp,” foreshadowing the wit and imagination that marked his literary career (Time).Mostra libro
