Losing It, a new novel by Simon Lipson is published on 21 April 2008
United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland (Press Release) April 17, 2008 --
Sarah Francis is thirty-four, a modern, independent woman – cool, funny, cynical. She has never craved the permanence of a long term relationship, never sought a man for something ‘meaningful.’ Instead, she has taken her pick, followed her moods and whims, never exposing herself to the risk of becoming emotionally involved. Until, that is, Matt Coltman enters her life. Now the rules by which Sarah has always lived her life have fundamentally changed. What was unimportant to her before is now the very thing that dominates her.
Matt’s not just another man, another fling, another conquest. He’s essential. But why did he need all those women before Sarah met him? Why couldn’t he have remained chaste, untainted…pure? Why didn’t he save himself for her? Sarah can never really have him, never properly possess him, until he stops spoiling her paradigm of the perfect relationship. Those other women in his life, past or present, will always stand in the way.
Obsession and retrospective jealousy impel Sarah into an inexorable spiral of violence and destruction. Can she stop herself before she learns the appalling truth?
“Smart, chilling, moving and darkly humorous...a dazzling debut.” - Ivor Baddiel, Author
