A fast, poignant and funny novel about life, love and a very sharp pair of scissors from Australia's favourite comedienne, Wendy Harmer.
'Love and Punishment is the deluxe triple chocolate fudge bar of the genre - great flavour, memorable aftertaste and impossible to put down until you've gorged the lot.' - Courier Mail.
Francie writes the 'Seriously Single' column for the Sunday Press. Nick - the man she thought she'd spend the rest of her life with - has dumped her for an older woman. To say that Francie is annoyed would be a serious understatement.
Struggling to deal with the bleak landscape of her new life, Francie signs up for therapy and moves into a shared household with a trio of supposedly swingin' singles. But Francie has a secret. A dirty little secret of nasty revenge. Her nightmare is that one day all will be revealed. That couldn't happen ... could it?
