Perceptive and bitingly funny' Vanity FairJane has high hopes that her life is about to turn around. After a long, precarious stretch bouncing among sketchy rentals and sublets, she and her family are living in luxury for a year, house-sitting in the hills above Los Angeles. The gig magically coincides with Jane's sabbatical, giving her the time and space she needs to finish her second novel-a centuries-spanning epic her artist husband, Lenny, dubs her 'mulatto War and Peace.' Finally, some semblance of stability and success seems to be within her grasp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut things don't work out quite as hoped. Desperate for a plan B, like countless writers before her Jane turns her gaze to Hollywood.
