As Zelda Isobel wows the editors and her manuscript is auctioned for gobs of money; but as in all morality tales bad things happen: Philip learns hes been conned by the pool man and Troy disappears with the proceeds of Isobels second novel. However Isobel whos learned a thing or two from Zelda knows exactly what to do... A witty and entertaining romp that sizzles with intellectual energy and frankness. KIRKUS REVIEWS
