Are You Ready to Be Lucky?

By Rosemary Nixon

re You Ready to Be Lucky? If so, meet Roslyn, a spirited divorcée eager for new beginnings. Meet Duncan, a British conman with a penchant for collecting ex-wives. Meet Floyd, a hard-living contractor who can fix anyone's house but his own. Irritating, vulnerable, hopeful, they ricochet off one another, trailing a mess of family and friends, all of them trying to beat the odds and find happiness. With razor-sharp wit, Rosemary Nixon takes on the chaos and absurdity of friendship, marriage, divorce, and betrayal—and the heart-pounding, breathtaking, always astonishing complexities of luck and love.

Reviews for Are You Ready to Be Lucky?

[annhepburn · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Very interesting format to this book -- a novel told through a series of connected short stories. Not 100% my thing, but very good for people more into literary-type stuff.
