Life Through Cellophane

Ditmar Award nominee 2010.

Liz Smith Thinks she is boring. She knows her life is deadly dull. She is middle aged. She is a spinster. She has just been sacked. What else is left but being boring and leading a dull life?

Her life is about to become very, very different. Deadly, perhaps. Dull, never. Boring? She could only wish.

It starts with a simple redecoration job. A mirror. It starts with friends. It continues with ants and notes and far too many problems. If Liz isn't careful, it may well end with the boss who sacked her, haunting her from a very particular hell.
