Product Description
Steven Butts arrives in Canada to become a professor and race cars. His girlfriend comes too. Everything that can go wrong does. Note to self: Next time, leave Eddie home Do not accept a job teaching something you know nothing about Canada is cold; do not buy a British sports car On entering academia, abandon all logic Hands off the student body Do not visit old girlfriend in London If you do, avoid sleeping with her flat mate Never get married to make yourself feel better Once married, you will become strangely attractive to women. Just say no On wife's Opening Night, do not take a student Do not go car racing Do not crash It's a scream now, but finding yourself lost in Canada wasn't so funny at the time.

Fiction at its Finest,
By
This review is from: Wild Women (Paperback)
A racy account of an Australian couple's move to Canada written with wit and panache, Wild Women is a barnburner of a book. Leigh is a brilliant, incisive writer whose visceral prose can move you from laughter to tears and back again. Highly recommended!

First reader,
By Simon H. Leigh - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wild Women (Paperback)
PAUL QUARRINGTON called it:"A well-written, witty, ribald and rollicking journey into the dark ways of men and women." PODGirl (USA) wrote: "Leigh is a master of voice and this book should be required reading in creative writing classes." (The new UKA edition costs less and has a contest for anyone who'd like literary immortality for the cost of an email.) |
