Back Page Summary
Wham, bam,
no-thank-you, ma'am. That about sums up the sex life of Claire Doolittle.
Not-so-happily married to Jack-once the man of her dreams but
now a modern-day version of the bossy, dull Ward Cleaver of '50s sitcom
fame-Claire is at the end of her rope. Gone are the glorious days of
flings in elevators and broom closets. Jack? All he needs is a cardigan and a
billowing pipe to become the domineering father figure Claire never wanted. And
looking at her body in the mirror, Claire would cast herself as Lumpy. They'd
once had a world of color, of wanton frivolity. Now, life's black and white: a
sitcom in reruns. A not-very-funny sitcom. Cue an old
boyfriend-the "one that got away"-throw in a predatory hottie who's set her sights on our
leading man, and watch Claire's world spiral out of control.
In the old TV show, the Beaver always got a happy ending. Stay tuned.
Book Room Review
If you want to laugh until you
pee your pants, then pick up this book.
If you want to gain some insight into what goes into a marriage, then
pick up this book. I loved the character
of Claire. She is someone that every
woman can relate to, young or old. Jenny
Gardiner has a gift for finding humor and at the same time tackling tough issues. This is a great mom lit book to read by
yourself, or giggle about with your book club.
