Bloomsbury presents Noahs Ark by Barbara Trapido read by Amy Noble
There is no mistaking Trapidos narrative talent racy vibrant and witty Guardian
Reading it is rather like being bombarded with sequins Observer

A solid man of science Noah walks into Alis life bringing good sense order and security But ten years on Ali is drawn back into the complexities of her past an old lover two exspouses a colleague from clown school and a small smuggled cat all help to rock the boat
The plots interplay of flashbacks and digressions which prompt bright dialogue and dark complications recalls Matisses line and palette Some sentences can be relished in isolation like fine brushwork New Yorker
Full of wisecracks efficiency carnal delights and love of children warm and comic The Times
Funny sexy glowing TimeOut
