Reviews
"The psychic death, and rebirth, of a saleswoman, Layover is a chillingly modern pilgrimage: rental cars and anonymous rooms in franchise hotels, crisp bills from automated tellers, the music of e-mail chimes and electronic pagers. Lisa Zeidner writes with the precision and the ear of the poet she is." --Kathryn Harrison "If anyone ever called for the phrase 'too smart for her own good,' it would seem to be the heroine of Lisa Zeidner's mordant, often terrifyingly funny, new novel. Claire Newbold is unraveling, but she doesn't drop a single witty stitch of observation, metaphor, and judgment--about anything. Too smart for her own good? Maybe, maybe not. She's definitely not too smart for ours. Layover is a nervy, racehorse performance." --Thomas Mallon "Lisa Zeidner's rare gift is her ability to balance sharp contemporary reportage with a timeless understanding of the heart. Layover lays bare the profound relationship between sex and hope. And as a lovely bonus to its wisdom and grace of language, it's as much fun to read as having all your travel and accommodations upgraded to first class." --Rafael Yglesias

Synopsis
Throw aside your idea of a heroine, and meet Claire Newbold. Despite hardship--a young child's death, infertility, an unfaithful husband--wry, ferocious Claire has been trying to soldier on. But then she simply checks out of job and home to confront love and loss on the road. During the leave of absence she takes from her usual life, her behavior ranges from the illicit to--she fears--the deranged. She develops a scam for staying in hotel rooms without paying. She seduces a teenage boy at a hotel swimming pool. Armed with a dangerous amount of medical lore (her husband is a surgeon), she pursues a diagnosis that might explain everything. Claire even comes to believe that she is clairvoyant--able to "read" the souls of people she encounters on her travels. And eventually she begins to see into her own soul. Some might call her sexual exploits "casual"; to Claire they are anything but. As she struggles to repair her marriage and her life, she surprises herself--and us--by emerging with a new sense of redemption. Layoveris a provocative, poignant, and entirely assured novel, with an unforgettable heroine at its heart.
