The Manuscript

Fast paced, funny and ferocious, The Manuscript is a novel about a novel, and the unexpected ways that life smacks you in the face. When author, Edith Scott finds herself free in many ways, she switches genres to write a book about war and men. As she learns hard lessons from those in her life who chew her up and spit her out, Edith writes them into her plot, killing them off with delight. But what she does not know is that real life is dealing with them in a parallel reality too brutal for words. This is a sexy post-divorce coming-of-age story, which explores the delicate nature of new relationships, the ruthlessness of karma, and the blurry line between truth and fiction. Duration - 9h 25m. Author - Lucy Bloom. Narrator - Lucy Bloom. Published Date - Sunday, 11 January 2026. Copyright - © 2023 Lucy Bloom ©.
