Description
Meet Chloe Zhivago, 43 and definitely not counting. Married for what feels like all eternity to Greg who tests his memory in infuriating ways, for example, by hiding the kettle from himself in the drum of the washing machine. Chloe is a successful psychotherapist with two children and a Famous Friend from hell. She's got it all. So why does she want to rub her life out and start again? Is this it? She asks herself. Will I never sleep with another man again? When Chloe meets temptation in the shape of Ivan, does she dare risk a passionate Russian romance before gravity wins the battle with her face and figure? Can she get away with one glorious, final fling? Dr Zhivago didn't. And just look what happened to Anna Karenina. MRS ZHIVAGO OF QUEEN'S PARK is a razor sharp, wonderfully funny, sexy novel that asks a serious question - how do you keep love alive during a long marriage? - and answers it with poignancy and pure delicious comedy.
Awards
Short-listed for Melissa Nathan Award for Comedy Romance 2008

Short story by Olivia in SUNDAY EXPRESS magazine in early October.
