Synopses & ReviewsReview:"Evans demonstrates his playwright's mastery of dialogue and tension in his accomplished and whimsical first novel about love and the bizarre behavior it ignites. Lawyers Lena and Nick are divorced, with Lena retaining control of their Minneapolis firm and Nick pulling political protest stunts with a hand-puppet named Sancho. When Nick lands himself in jail for filling the pool at the mayor's mansion with lobsters, Lena, feeling guilty about maybe having given up on the marriage too soon, shepherds Nick into rehabilitation, saving him from jail time or, worse, commitment to a mental institution. Between long, painfully comedic conversations with Lena about their failed marriage, Nick performs community service at an animal shelter, where he finds a new cause to rally against: animal euthanasia. The real 'rehabilitation' takes place in Nick and Lena's relationship, but even that doesn't stop Nick from pulling one final stunt that will shock the entire community, person and animal alike. As with any good trial, Evans's book has closing statements to resolve any questions he has left unanswered, and solid proof that he is just as much a talented novelist as he is a playwright." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:In this unconventional love story, Nick and Lena are divorced, but can't quite separate. They had once run a successful environmental law firm together, until Nick's charmingly erratic behavior got in the way. His actions cause him to run afoul of the law, and Lena must decide whether to rescue him again. What Our Readers Are SayingAdd a comment for a chance to win!
