Lazy Ways To Make A Living  << Click for a full sized image!
My Rating: Synopsis Lexicographer, chess master and hedonist, Rose is down on her luck when she meets Jamie, a guy she beat at chess twelve years previously who has never recovered from losing the game or forgotten the sight of Rose's perfectly manicured nails poised to strike over the chess board. She's destitute, he's loaded and terrified of losing her again. They strike a bargain: in return for chess he will keep her. What is it like being a kept woman in the 21st century? Rose is about to find out. She's also about to learn that disguising your moves in chess can lead to victory, but doing the same thing in love leads to disaster. Reviews for Lazy Ways To Make A Living "A twist on the usual chick-lit froth ... Bosanko's debut is written with verve and manages to avoid the formulaic style of the genre" The Times "Lazy Ways To Make A Living is unputdownable ... A deliciously hedonistic book with its literary allusions, wicked turns of phrase and neat line in puns" Scotland on Sunday "A quirky read with twists and turns. This is life imitating chess with all the highs and lows of the game" U Magazine "It's not chick lit, more of a book for literary chicks. Its combination of exquisitely realised middle-class fantasy which is just grounded in enough reality to keep it readable makes it a rare treat" Ecosse "Wryly funny, intelligent and very entertaining" Marie Claire General Info
