About this listen

Fast paced, funny and ferocious, The Manuscript is a novel about a novel, and the unexpected ways that life smacks you in the face.

When author, Edith Scott finds herself free in many ways, she switches genres to write a book about war and men. As she learns hard lessons from those in her life who chew her up and spit her out, Edith writes them into her plot, killing them off with delight. But what she does not know is that real life is dealing with them in a parallel reality too brutal for words.

This is a sexy post-divorce coming-of-age story, which explores the delicate nature of new relationships, the ruthlessness of karma, and the blurry line between truth and fiction.

Genuine Aussie story telling with hilarious use of Aussie slang entwined with cross cultural references

I felt a connection with the author and the character Author the whole way through.

Thanks so much for a wonderful week in the world of Edith.

Thank you for a wonderful distraction. I escaped into some familiar and other not so familiar worlds with Lucy’s story. Unpredictable and fascinating in detail. Very enjoyable.
