Beschreibung
New York Times-Bestselling Author: A ';compelling and memorable' novel of a frustrated woman's ordinary life suddenly taking flight (Lincoln Journal Star). Set amid the lush pine forests and rich savannahs of Florida's Northern Panhandle, this novel tells the story of one woman whose life until now has been fairly normal. She's thirtysomething and married and goes about her daily routine. But we soon discover that Clarissa's life has been burdened by ghosts and an indifferent husbandand like a butterfly in a chrysalis, she is poised on the precipice of great change. Today, for the first time in her predictable existence, she has awakened to the realization that she has had enough. Suddenly, wanting nothing more than to spread her wings and set her heart free, Clarissa will have to find a way to do the unthinkable ... ';Florida novelist Clarissa Burden is suffering from writer's block. She lacks no creativity when daydreaming up death scenarios for her philandering buffoon of a husband, but when it comes time to put fingers to keyboard, her mind is blank. However, on June 21, 2006 (the longest, hottest day of the year), Clarissa will encounter no less than a multitude of ghosts, a one-armed angel, a one-eyed man, a sexy young love interest, a dwarf circus, and a host of critters. Each one in some way will grant her the courage it will take to escape the dull monotony of her day-to-day existence and write a new story.' Booklist ';Magical, funny, at times heartbreaking ... Compact and enchanting, yet achingly dark, it reminds me of the novels of Alice McDermott and Alice Hoffman that I love to read.' Mary Morris, author ofGateway to the Moon ';Funny and heartening.' The Miami Herald
