Klappentext 'Desire, Betrayal and Shifting Identity combine in this chilling contemporary novel.' Isobel Latimer is trapped: by her need to be a good woman, by massive secret debt, and by the burden of impeccable literary reputation. Everyone wants a cut of her talent, her time or her money, but only she knows there's nothing left to give. In desperation, Isobel and her agent, Troy, conspire to create a shameless blockbuster with an author to match. Zelda is born. Zelda can do everything that Isobel cannot: the unspeakable is said, taboos are broken and desires are unleashed. Troy revels in the wildness, but Isobel senses menace behind the beautiful mask, and she longs for the safety of her husband and home. But when she returns, the familiar has changed¿ "'Zelda's Cut' holds the attention because the cravings it describes are real" HELEN DUNMORE, 'The Times' "Gregory's extraordinary engrossing novel examines the human capacity for self-deceit, and explores the risks we should take to be our true selves. Audacious in its range¿ Gregory's skill is masterly¿ a triumph." DAILY MAIL Zusammenfassung Delicious combination of confused identities! personal dramas and moral dilemmas in a contemporary chiller from one of our most outstanding novelists.
