Twenty-nine year old Viv's world is falling apart. She's just lost the grandmother who raised her, her boyfriend's gone, and her job soon follows. The stages of grief are hard enough to traverse when you're not worried about losing your apartment. Desperate for meaning in a world that seems to have turned on her overnight, Viv turns to the stars for answers. She begins by casually looking up her horoscope late at night, but it isn't long before she finds herself completely hooked. When she stumbles upon a particularly astute astrologer, she becomes so convinced of the power of the stars that she won't make a single move without them. When the astrologer advises Viv to break it off with the one man who's been her saving grace, Viv is reluctant to lose the last thing she's been holding on to. But the astrologer has been accurate on so many points, Viv can't help but wonder if she should trust her here, too.

This book presents a selection of the educational and occasional writings of Maria Edgeworth. It shows how Maria Edgeworth familiarised herself with the remarkably acute, closely-observed treatises and essays of the true Renaissance man, Francis Bacon. MARIA EDGEWORTH was born in 1768. Her first novel, Castle Rackrent (1800) was also her first Irish tale. The next such tale was Ennui (1809), after which came The Absentee, which began life as an unstaged play and was then published (in prose) in Tales of Fashionable Life (1812), as were several of her other stories. They were followed in 1817 by the last of her Irish tales, Ormond. Maria Edgeworth died in 1849. Edited with an introduction and notes by Marilyn Butler.
