( ) At first the very smart and snappy dialogue is appealing, but, after a while, it feels like you are watching a Howard Hawks movie and the witty zingers grew old and weary and you almost want to scream. That, combined with an angst I just would rather not feel right now, is making me file this away (mentally) under my "to possibly be read again someday" pile. Ann McMan is a terrific writer _and_ the title itself is also terrific. What is in between the covers, though, does not grab me, but (as is the case with another book I read recently) is most likely entirely my problem. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

English professor and aspiring novelist, Grace Warner spends her days teaching four sections of "Beowulf for Cretins" to bored and disinterested students at one of New England's "hidden ivy" colleges. Not long after she is dumped by her longtime girlfriend, Grace meets the engaging and mysterious Abbie on a cross-country flight. Sparks fly on and off the plane as the two strangers give in to one night of reckless passion with no strings attached, and no contact information exchanged. Back home at St. Albans, the college rocks Grace's world when it announces the appointment of a new president, the first woman in its 165-year history. Cue Abbie-and cue Grace's collision course with a neurotic dog named Grendel, a fractious rival for tenure, and a woman called Ochre, in what very well might be Grace's last real shot at happiness. This full-length novel reimagines and expands on the short story, "Falling From Grace," which was originally published in the award-winning story collection, Sidecar by Ann McMan.
