From award-winning author Alisha Piercy comes <i>Bunny and Shark,</i> a middle-aged coming-of-age story-cum-shark-adventure that reveals and celebrates women's power in the trenches. Plunging into the first thirteen days after the 'bastard' pushes his ex-Playboy wife 'Bunny' over a cliff in the Caribbean, <i>Bunny and Shark</i> is a fable about island survival, and the perils and potentials of being exiled from one's identity. <br><br>Literally lost at sea, Bunny is fueled by the miracle of having been saved from sharks by a band of dolphins. And her continued survival depends on her ability to become a spiritual extension of the landscape: she is the mood of the ocean at night as she swims blindly in it, and the protective coolness of the jungle by day as she recovers from a loss of limb; the close-walled refuge of the sailboats anchored in the harbour, and the sparkling deck of an opulent superyacht when, transformed, she makes a triumphant return to her former world.<br><br>Introducing one of the great heroines of contemporary fiction, <i>Bunny and Shark</i> takes readers on a voyage intense with abandon and illumination, in a story that invokes more than a little bit of magic in the telling.
