This is a 24-hour urban love story. It follows Stephen Connolly through one of the worst days of his life. On a stiflingly hot December day, he has decided it’s time to break up with his girlfriend Fiona. He’s 39, aimless and unfulfilled; he’s without a clue working out how to make his life better. As an ordinary day develops into an existential crisis, Stephen begins to understand, perhaps too late, that love is not a trap, and only he can free himself.

Charlotte Wood's critically-acclaimed early novel, now published outside of Australia for the first time.
Stephen is having the worst day of his life.
On a stiflingly hot summer morning, he has decided it's time to break up with his girlfriend Fiona. He's 39, aimless and unfulfilled, but without a clue how to make his life better. All he has are his instincts – and they may be his downfall.
Making his way through the pitiless city and the hours of a single day, Stephen must endure another shift of his dead-end job at Sydney zoo, fend off the relentless demands of his family, and face up to Fiona's aggressive ex-husband.
As an ordinary day unravels into an existential crisis, Stephen begins to understand – perhaps too late – that love is not a trap, and only he can free himself.
