Layover

A smart and sexy novel about a woman on the edge, soon to be a major film "Subtle, astute… Zeidner joins the ranks of Doris Lessing, Margaret Atwood and Fay Weldon"New York Times Book Review, Notable Book of the Year Claire Newbold is not your typical heroine. Smart and sexy, yes, but she's also been known to sneak into a hotel room or two without paying, seduce a teenager in wet bathing trunks, and just check out of things altogether - like her job. And her marriage. Grieving the loss of her only child, and unsure of what's to become of her relationship, Claire takes a leave of absence from everyday life. She moves from hotel to hotel, basking in the anonymity of travel and forbidden sex, struggling to understand herself. Who has she become? And how will she ever find redemption? "A moving portrait of a woman who reclaims her life... Zeidner skillfully charts the map of Claire's vulnerable heart... a wicked sendup of contemporary life"Publishers Weekly "A sharp and wryly moving portrait of a woman in the midst of a breakdown... A wise and satisfying read"Kirkus Reviews Lisa Zeidner has published five novels, including the critically acclaimed Layover, and two books of poems. Her stories, reviews, and essays have appeared in The New York Times, Slate, GQ, Tin House and elsewhere. She directs the MFA program in creative writing at Rutgers University in Camden, New Jersey.
