Bouncing Back
Il y a vraiment des jours sans. Et aujourd'hui pour Cally, c'est le grand chelem : en moins de 24 heures elle perd son boulot, son mari, sa maison et se retrouve chez ses parents dans sa chambre d'adolescente ! Un cauchemar grandeur nature qui annonce une grosse déprime...
Mais Cally n'est pas du genre à se morfondre indéfiniment : elle entreprend bientôt de se remettre en selle. Enfin, plus facile à dire qu'à faire. De situations cocasses en humiliations, de jobs minables en galères, elle tente vainement de reprendre sa vie en main. Jusqu'à ce qu'elle franchisse les grilles d'un drôle de zoo où collègues et pensionnaires vont l'aider à reprendre du poil de la bête !

About the author
Zoë Barnes
41 books14 followersDid you know ...?
Zoë was born near Liverpool, but is a real mixed bag! Her mum is Manx and her dad is from Yorkshire. She now lives in Cheltenham, where her novels are set.
She is also a French translator, and translates novels by Christian Jacq (author of the Ramses series) under the pen-name of Sue Dyson.
She was named 'Secretary of the Year' in 1987, although she wasn't actually working as a secretary at the time!
When not writing or translating, she works as a singer.
At the moment she has three cats: Domino, Pizza and Jupiter. Unfortunately, Jupiter's favourite foods are Sellotape and glue, and he enjoys chewing the corners off library books.
The only animals she really doesn't like are cockroaches. And it's not their fault they're creepy.
She loves chocolate, but it makes her ill. Sadly, green vegetables are perfectly safe. There is no justice.
There is no such thing as a Javanese Yellow Skunk. But there ought to be.
Zoë died on October 30th 2009 after taking an overdose.

Pas le meilleur de Zoé Barnes mais très divertissant. Une bouffée de fraîcheur.
