Publisher's Summary:
When old school friends Angie and Fiona bump into one another at a rather drunken timeshare event aboard a barge on the river Thames, their reunion will prove to be auspicious. Bored with her life, Fiona insists they both need some excitement. Their marriages have grown stale; their previous hopes and dreams confined to the top shelf, just out of reach. Both women crave romance, not a timeshare apartment. Timesharing a lover; now that would be interesting.
Auditions are swiftly convened at London Zoo, with hopefuls including a language student, an opera singer, and a pickpocket. Their advert also falls into the hands of a young lawyer called Jake, a colleague of Angie's solicitor husband on a sperm-ownership case. To make sure they each play fair, the women create a list of rules by which they will court and enjoy a man of their mutual choosing. But when has love ever been fair, especially amongst friends?
Members Reviews:
A fabulous holiday read
'Rules for Thursday Lovers' offers a refreshing and satirical view on modern relationships, time-proven friendships and outdated marriages.
By the quirky will of fate two old school friends, Angie Riley and Fiona Gregoyan reunite at an extravagant boat party on London's Thames. Both women aren't quite happy with their lives and husbands. The insufferable and slightly mad hate maker Fiona suggests running auditions for a lover, which both of them could timeshare at a secret meeting flat. Little they know that the adultery is sometimes a way out a muddy existential pit on the path of self-discovery.
Yana Stajno builds her narrative with witty sentences, distinctly painting the setting and the characters' features, both outer and inner. The author, also a well-known painter, uses her descriptions sparingly where it is only essential, cutting off the fluff, with all the stylistic devices hitting their goals precisely, to give her story the most gregarious pace.
Every page is brimming with humour. I almost doubled, laughing at one of the characters who got wedged in the door frame entrance of the courtroom, thanks to her gigantic bizarre spiky hat weilded by Fiona. A pure cinematic gem here.
I also enjoyed the contrast between Angie's and Fiona's personalities. It created the required tension, which, along with the humour, made the story a compulsive and delightful read.
It's definitely a suitable book to take with you on a holiday. But be careful: you may reconsider your life choices after reading it.
