About this ebook

Molly Giles is a multi award-winning author, including:

  • The Pushcart Prize
  • The Flannery O’Connor Prize
  • The Boston Globe Award
  • The Bay Area Book Reviewers’ Award; 
  • The Small Press Best Fiction Award
  • The California Commonwealth Silver Medal for Fiction
  • New York Times Notable Book; 
  • The Split Oak Press Flash Fiction Award 
  • The Spokane Prize for Fiction. 
  • The O. Henry Award
  • The Pushcart Prize, 
  • and she has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts

Will appeal to: 

  • Women 30+.
  • Readers who are hungry for more female protagonists over the age of 40.
  • Fans of Chelsea Handler, Rebecca Wells, Jennifer Weiner, and Helen Fielding.
  • This book combines the best of “chic lit” with mangled romance and family drama—and it takes place in a possibly haunted castle.
  • Readers will fall for the flawed protagonist, Kay, an alcoholic who chooses the wrong man every time, and then is forced to literally live with her mistakes. 
  • Lovers of farcical comedy; Giles’s signature wit is in every chapter, keeping the narrative from becoming too heavy despite its serious subject matter—addiction, loneliness, toxic relationships, and later-life career crises.
  • Those who appreciate screwball comedy and slapstick humor; just as one ex-suitor falls off the roof, another walks through the door. It’s “Lucy in the chocolate factory,” but instead of candy, Kay is overwhelmed by inadequate men.
