Suzanne Davis Gets a Life by Paula Marantz Cohen

In the three days it took Bravo to die, the poison 'burned through the tissue lining his alimentary canal' and ate away at his large intestine until it had all but disintegrated. His death was a particularly horrific one as the poison that was used, a massive dose of tartar emetic (a derivative of antimony), is a highly corrosive substance. In the spring of 1876 Charles Bravo, a thirty-year-old barrister, was murdered at the Priory, his home in south London.

THE TRUE STORY OF A COURTESAN'S SCANDALOUS LIFE IN ANCIENT GREECE

She ends by getting a life - even as she may lose one.VICTORY AT SEA AND ITS TRAGIC AFTERMATH IN THE FINAL YEARS OF THE PELOPONNESIAN WARĪ GUIDED TOUR THROUGH THE WILD BOARS, DANCING SUITORS, AND CRAZY TYRANTS OF THE HISTORY But serious illness opens her to new people and a new perspective. But can such a search possibly yield the meaning she craves? When her extremely anying mother arrives on the scene, it appears that her plan has been hijacked. We can't help but wish Suzanne success in getting a life. Light in its tone but incisive in its social satire, Suzanne Davis Gets a Life balances its wit with true concern for its protagonist.

All are keenly observed by Suzanne, whose witty self-deprecation endears her to us even as it makes us want to shake some sense into her. Her quest plunges us into the world of her Upper West Side apartment building, a world of overly invested mothers, fanatical dog-owners, curmudgeonly long-time residents, and young (and t so young) professionals. As her 35th birthday looms, Suzanne embarks on a wrong-headed, but very funny, quest - to find Mr Right and start the family she hopes will give meaning to her life. Suzanne Davis lounges around her tiny New York City apartment in her pyjamas, writing press releases for the International Association of Air-Conditioning Engineers, listening to the ticking of her biological clock, and wondering where life is taking her.
