Sinossi
Flora drinks herbal tea, meditates and believes in the abundance of the universe. Georgie drinks black coffee, drives a car called Flat Eric and believes in hard work. But they agree about a lot of things. They’re getting married, they know all men are victims of their own biology, but they’re not choosing Hillary Clinton for a role model. Which means they’ve got the whole biology thing sorted. So when their old boss bets them they can’t seduce each other’s fiancés, they’re up for it.
Will it all go horribly wrong? Are men really all the same? Biology is destiny – true or false? To get the answers, read Celia Brayfield’s delightful comedy, set in millennial London and inspired by Mozart’s opera Cosi fan tutte.
‘Delicious . . . the perfect antidote to most of its genre. A laugh-out-loud book’ Ireland Evening Herald

L'autore
Celia Brayfield is a novelist and cultural commentator. She is the author of nine novels. The latest, Wild Weekend explores the tensions in a Suffolk village in homage to Oliver Goldmsith's She Stoops to Conquer. To explore suburban living, she created the community of Westwick and explored mid-life manners in Mr Fabulous And Friends, and the environmental implications of urbanisation in Getting Home. She has often juxtaposed historical and contemporary settings, notably eighteenth century Spain in Sunset, pre-revolutionary St Petersburg in White Ice and Malaysia in the time of World War II in Pearls. Four of her novels have been optioned by major US, UK or French producers.
Her non-fiction titles include two standard works on the art of writing: Arts Reviews (Kamera Books, 2008) and Bestseller (Fourth Estate, 1996.) Her most recent is Deep France (Pan, 2004) a journal of a year she spent writing in south-west France.
She has served on the management committee of The Society of Authors and judged national literary awards including the Betty Trask Award and the Macmillan Silver PEN Prize. A former media columnist, she contributes to The Times, BBC Radio 4 and other national and international media.
