Fear Of Dying

£8.99

Vanessa Wonderman is a former actress in her sixties who finds herself balancing between her dying parents, her ageing husband and her beloved, pregnant daughter. Although she considers herself ‘a happily married woman’, the lack of sex in her life makes her feel as if she’s losing something too valuable to ignore. So she places an ad for sex on a site called Zipless.com and the life she knew begins to unravel. With the help and counsel of her best friend, Isadora, she weeds out the lovers from the losers and liars, and starts to question if what she’s looking for might be close at hand after all.
