Book description
Everybody's entitled to a bad day. But Cally Storm's bad day is worse
than most. She loses her job, her home, her marriage and her
self-respect, all in one fell swoop. At 30, she's back in her mum's
spare room, contemplating a dismal future ... until fate takes a hand
and forces her to take a job at the local wildlife park. It's a real
shock to the system for someone who used to work for an insurance
company, and at first Cally's driven to despair by the likes of Colin
the skunk, S(a)tan the donkey, and Bob, the laziest zoo-keeper in the
world. But there are compensations - notably in the form of Will, her
unconventional colleague. If there's such a thing as animal magnetism,
Will's sure as heck got it; but he's playing hard to get. And besides,
Cally's a married woman ... The only thing is, she hasn't got round to
telling Will yet. Zoe Barnes's varied career included stints as a
hearing-aid technician, shorthand teacher, French translator and the
worst accounts clerk in the entire world. When not writing her own
novels, she translated other people's and also worked as a
semi-professional singer. She died in autumn 2009.
