Summary
"Holds up a comically warped mirror to contemporary Israel, as well as the very notion of 'chick lit.' Inhabiting a dark fairy-tale version of modern life, drawing equal inspiration from Angela Carter and the iconography of the classic horror movie, this is the story of Lily, our proudly overweight and romantically unlucky protagonist, who discovers a wild freedom in part through her friendship with a Russian prostitute"--Page 4 of cover.
