| Description: |
In this engaging tale by the author of the acclaimed ELIOT'S BANANA, a twenty-something New Yorker has her hands full and her head spinning - but will she also have her heart broken? |
| Synopsis: |
Called 'engaging' and 'right on target' by Kirkus Reviews, ELIOT'S BANANA put Heather Swain's name on the map of hip, heartwarming fiction. With LUSCIOUS LEMON, she returns to New York City with a character her fans will love. After spending her early twenties sampling the exotic cultures, exotic food, and exotic men of Europe, Ellie 'Lemon' Manelli has settled in New York City to open a restaurant with her boyfriend, Eddie. It's a dream come true - until she finds out she's pregnant. Determined to be different from all the other women in her family who've given up their lives for marriage and a family, Lemon continues to work crazed hours until, eventually, she suffers a miscarriage. Eddie attempts to console and support her, but only comes away feeling isolated and guilty. And it doesn't take long for the cracks to start showing in their relationship. With little else to think about while recovering, Lemon soon wonders if she'll end up bitter and alone. It's time to start living again, and - with the help of some eccentric great aunts - she finds the courage to do just that, and rediscover the love that she came all too close to losing. |
