Description
Lazy Ways to Make a Living by Abigail Bosanko is a contemporary novel that blends sharp humour with a modern take on relationships and personal independence. The story follows Rose, a lexicographer and skilled chess player whose unconventional outlook on life is matched by her precarious financial situation. When she reconnects with Jamie, a wealthy man she once defeated at chess, their dynamic quickly evolves into an unusual arrangement: in exchange for regular chess games, he will financially support her. As Rose steps into the role of a “kept” woman, she navigates the realities and contradictions of this lifestyle in a contemporary setting. The novel explores themes of power, control, identity, and the blurred lines between strategy in games and in relationships.
With its witty narrative voice and focus on character interaction, it will appeal to readers who enjoy intelligent, offbeat romantic comedies that question conventional ideas about love, independence, and modern living.
