From the Back Cover:

‘Hooks until the final twist’
Woman & Home
‘ZELDA’S CUT holds the attention because the cravings it describes are real’
Helen Dunmore
Perverse desire, betrayal and shifting identity combine in this chilling contemporary novel.
Isobel Latimer, writer of carefully constructed moral tales, is trapped: by her need to be a good woman, by massive secret debt, and by the burden of literary reputation. Everyone wants a cut of her talent, her time or her money, but only she knows there's nothing left to give. In desperation, Isobel and her agent, Troy, conspire to create a shameless blockbuster with an author to match. Zelda is born.
Zelda can do everything that Isobel cannot. As a new champagne-fuelled celebrity, she embraces freedom with exhilarating joy. Isobel finds that when Zelda is in command the unspeakable is said, taboos are broken and desires are unleashed. Troy revels in the wildness, but Isobel senses menace behind the beautiful mask, and she longs for the safety of her husband and home. When she returns, the familiar has changed. She cannot get back . . .
Philippa Gregory has a history degree from the University of Sussex and a PhD in eighteenth-century literature from the University of Edinburgh. She is a fellow of Kingston University. She has been widely praised for her historical novels, including 'Earthly Joys' and 'Virgin Earth,'as well as her works of contemporary suspense. Philippa Gregory lives in Sussex with her family.
Acclaim for 'The Little House'
"This brilliant psychological chiller . . . is utterly, nail-nibblingly plausible. You will relish its explosive climax and be gripped through to its final, superb, double-twist finish"
DAILY MAIL
"Insidiously gripping"
INDEPENDENT
"This is Gregory at her most chillingly convincing. Sunday lunch with the in-laws will never be the same"

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Delicious combination of confused identities, personal dramas and moral dilemmas in a contemporary chiller from one of our most outstanding novelists For years, Isobel Latimer has composed serious novels for serious people, but to dwindling acclaim and ever-more dwindling financial gain. Now her husband is ill and she must carry the burden of their house and his hopes alone, and in secret. But if the public dont want careful moral fables any longer, why not provide them with an outrageous tale of sex and satanism, and an author to match? Isobel, together with her agent, Troy, resolves to change her writing and her appearance, for one book only: the blockbuster that will make her fortune and save her marriage. Once created, the fabulous author Zelda Vere takes on a life of her own, which eclipses Isobels controlled existence in a way she could never have foreseen. Unexpected vistas open; glamorous possibilities beckon. But are they real, or will they vanish when the media furore dies down? And meanwhile, whats happening at home to her once-predictable marriage? What began with the best of intentions snowballs into a disorienting blur of passion, gender-bending, loss of innocence, betrayal and despair. Isobel Latimer might feel shes on the brink of losing everything, but what would Zelda do? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001724569
