“It began in a garden, as these things will, and she fell in love with her husband’s son. Bloody hell!” Bloody hell is right, because when Claudia Bohanon develops a crush on her handsome young stepson and, all of a sudden oppressively aware of the discontents of comfortable middle–age, starts feeling like a lovesick schoolgirl, everything threatens to get too, too maddening. Originally published in 1983, this is Ellis’s most hilarious novel, a deviously clever anatomy of Love’s misrule and a zingingly pointed demonstration that fools do rush in, don’t they? With a new Afterword by Thomas Meagher.
This is comic writing of the very highest order.

The Other Side of the Fire (Common Reader Editions)
Reading this book is like eating a packet of space candy. It crackles with wit all the way through, it's fun and it makes you laugh. It's not great literature but it's whacky, off the wall and a good read. I love the faux-Scottish romantic novel one of the characters is writing - "Morning broke with a sullen gleam o'er the craggy battlements of the Laird's awe-inspiring castle....A braw piper in kilt, plaid and bonnet prowled the dark mist beneath the bleak walls." The female characters are hilarious but particularly Gloria, half-collie, half-Alsatian, who spends her time eating the contents of bins. Highly recommended for sheer silliness.
