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.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. When she finagles a meeting with Hampton Ford, a hot producer with a major development deal at a streaming network, he seems excited to work with a \"real writer,\" and together they begin to develop \"the Jackie Robinson of biracial comedies.\" Things finally seem to be going right for Jane-until they go terribly wrong.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eReader reviews:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e'A \u003cb\u003efantastic \u003c\/b\u003enovel . . . funny and ironic and clever' ?????\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e'A clever satire . . .\u003cb\u003e If you enjoyed \u003ci\u003eYellowface\u003c\/i\u003e, you'll likely appreciate Senna's ability to blend humour with uncomfortable truths\u003c\/b\u003e' ?????\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e'So\u003cb\u003e sharp \u0026amp; funny \u0026amp; MESSY\u003c\/b\u003e . . .
