An Untameable Zebra: The funniest and most moving escape-from-reality must-listen of 2024!
A desperate housewife’s hilarious and heart-warming tale of chaos, hope and second chances ...
***** “A class above other romcom reads”
What, if after twenty years of idyllic marriage … when you’ve been both a domestic queen and your husband’s bedroom goddess, and a mother to twin lads who adore you (despite your foibles), you do something so bad that your children disown you?
What would you do?
Run away and chase a silly dream?
Well, that’s what fifty-something Clem did: she ran away to the Greek Isles to join a dazzling sailing circus. Not to mention getting a few life lessons from the very sexy but very unscrupulous womaniser, Captain Red.
However, as Clem wows audiences across the Ionian, and wire-walking, fire-breathing and stapling herself to the captain becomes the norm, an unexpected tourist interrupts her act, and the spectre of her past looms large once more.
Can this wild circus troupe ever be her real future? Or has the time come for Clem to get real, ditch the sequins, and return to the mess she left behind?
A feelgood story of hope for all those who have woken up one morning and thought, ‘there’s got to be more to life than this.’
