Separation anxiety

Laura Zigman

If you've ever wondered whether you love your dog more than your partner. Life hasn't gone according to Judy's plan. Her career as a children's book author has taken an embarrassing nosedive. Her teenage son Teddy treats her with a combination of mortification and indifference. Her best friend is dying. And her husband, Gary, has become a pot-addled 'snackologist' who she can't afford to divorce. On top of it all, she has a painfully ironic job writing articles for a self-help website - a poor fit for someone seemingly incapable of helping herself. Gleefully irreverent, tender, funny and uplifting, Separation Anxiety is a novel that celebrates the 'squeezed generation'; a book filled with heart and humour for anyone fumbling their way towards happiness
