Perceptive and bitingly funny' </b><i>Vanity Fair</i><br><br>Jane has high hopes that her life is about to turn around. After a long, precarious stretch bouncing among sketchy rentals and sublets, she and her family are living in luxury for a year, house-sitting in the hills above Los Angeles. The gig magically coincides with Jane's sabbatical, giving her the time and space she needs to finish her second novel-a centuries-spanning epic her artist husband, Lenny, dubs her "mulatto War and Peace." Finally, some semblance of stability and success seems to be within her grasp.<br><br>But things don't work out quite as hoped. Desperate for a plan B, like countless writers before her Jane turns her gaze to Hollywood. When she finagles a meeting with Hampton Ford, a hot producer with a major development deal at a streaming network, he seems excited to work with a "real writer," and together they begin to develop "the Jackie Robinson of biracial comedies." Things finally seem to be going right for Jane-until they go terribly wrong.<br><br><b>Reader reviews:</b><br>'A <b>fantastic </b>novel . . . funny and ironic and clever' <br>'A clever satire . . .<b> If you enjoyed <i>Yellowface</i>, you'll likely appreciate Senna's ability to blend humour with uncomfortable truths</b>' <br>'So<b> sharp &amp; funny &amp; MESSY</b> . . . I could not wait to see how this one turned out and had a ball reading it'</p>
