The Manuscript 8385

‘Bloom writes such good characters and some are so dreadful it feels kinda fabulous when they’re wiped out. Am I bad for finding that so satisfying?’ Kate Bocca

Fast paced, funny and ferocious, The Manuscript is a novel about a novel, and the unexpected ways
that life smacks you in the face.

When author Edith Scott finds herself free in many ways, she switches genres to write a book about war and men.
As she learns hard lessons from those in her life, who chew her up and spit her out, Edith writes them into the plot, killing them off with delight. But what she doesn’t know is that real life is dealing with them in a parallel reality too brutal for words.

The Manuscript is a sexy post-divorce coming-of-age story, that explores the sometimes disposable nature of modern relationships, the ruthlessness of karma, and the blurry line between truth and fiction.
