"She's cute as a button and sweet as apple pie, but don't let her fool you. She's a stone cold killer zombie from outer space."
Thursday's Child is a unique novel, a romance that blows romantic conventions sky-high - as much literary fiction as romance, The story is set in Manhattan at the end of the 1980's, amid the dynamic worlds of high finance, publishing houses, major law firms, and the burgeoning high tech industry. The Thursday's Child who lies at its heart, Adele Jansen, has (in the words of the old rhyme about birthdays) far to go. Gifted, ambitious, and determined, she takes one step off the career track for an impromptu excursion with a man as fascinating as he is mysterious. But that one small step draws her gradually into an odyssey. The materials of the narrative are the commonplace stuff of everyday life. But out of this ordinary background emerges a story tinged with genuine myth and magic. It is a full and sprawling epic, yet taut and organized, wired tightly with logic, intelligence, and unpredictability, flowing with primal energy and blood. Yet the core story is a romance, conforming to all the conventions of the genre while enriching them so deeply that the genre collapses. Thursday's Child is one of the most mesmerizing, enchanting books any reader will ever encounter, and one no reader will ever forget.
