Items related to The Post-Birthday World (P.S.)
American children's book illustrator Irina McGovern enjoys a secure, settled life in London with her smart, loyal, disciplined partner, Lawrence--until the night she finds herself inexplicably drawn to kissing another man, a passionate, extravagant, top-ranked snooker player. Two competing alternate futures hinge on this single kiss, as Irina's decision--to surrender to temptation or to preserve her seemingly safe partnership with Lawrence--will have momentous consequences for her career, her friendships and familial relationships, and the texture of her daily life.

Review:
"Extraordinary...Before it was co-opted and trivialized by chick lit, romantic love was a subject that writers from Flaubert to Tolstoy deemed worthy of artistic and moral scrutiny. This is the tradition into which Shriver's novel fits."--Entertainment Weekly
"Best novel of '07."--Entertainment Weekly
"Provocative...stunningly intense."--New York Daily News
"Compelling...ingenious...inspired."--The Evening Standard (London)
"This is a compulsive, clever, wise and witty novel."--The Times (London)
"Shriver has a gift for creating real and complicated characters and putting them in less-than-simple situations...Highly engrossing novel..."--San Francisco Chronicle
"Shriver is a terrific, intelligent writer."--Bookseller (London)
"Ingenious...delightful...[Shriver] has produced a novel that's equal parts entertainment and psychological massage."--Philadelphia Inquirer
"Shriver writes with much intelligence and wryness....The twofold nature of the plot...makes for enlightening reading."--Irish Times
"The Post-Birthday World is a...radical book."--The Scotsman
