THE HAPPINESS SHOW
Smart, funny and refreshingly honest, The Happiness Show is the first novel from muchloved columnist and comedian Catherine Deveny.
At thirty-eight, Lizzie Quealy thinks she has things sorted: happy marriage, a couple of gorgeous kids, a steadfast best friend and a job she loves (most of the time). But when she bumps into Tom, an old flame from her globe-trotting twenties, everything she thought she knew is turned on its head.
Tom is her 'unfinished business': the man she might have spent her life with, if things had gone a little bit differently. Fifteen years on, the spark is still there - but how far is Lizzie prepared to go to recapture it, and at what cost?
Set between Melbourne, London and Bali, The Happiness Show is a hilarious, heartbreaking story about love and marriage, sex and friendship, the passing of time and the messiness of second chances.
Catherine Deveny is the author of It's Not My Fault They Print Them, Say When and Free To A Good Home. She is a television comedy writer, comedian, author, social commentator and broadcaster well known for her work as columnist with the Age newspaper and as an ABC regular. She cites her biggest influences as Bill Hicks, Richard Dawkins, Billy Bragg and Alice Miller.
"The Happiness Show is a great summer read with broad commercial appeal." - Bookseller and Publisher, August/September 2012
