Book Cover: The Perfect Couple? by Robyn Sisman
Posted on April 29th, 2010 by Leah
I quite enjoyed Robyn Sisman’s last release A Hollywood Ending so when I saw Robyn had a new book due out, I was quite interested. The Perfect Couple? was originally due out last year before being delayed until summer 2010 before being delayed again until 2nd September 2010 when it will (probably) come out! I’m not mad keen on the cover but I like the sound of the book:
Kate is a rising star in one of London’s top barristers’ chambers. Smart, competitive and driven, she is jubilant when she lands a high-profile case representing the TV talent show mogul Jez Carnaby. Children are involved, as are houses, helicopters, racehorses, private islands, and money - lots of it. Winning this case will guarantee Kate the success and stability she craves. There’s only one problem: on the opposing legal team is her own husband, Rikki. Frost settles on their previously hot marriage. Kate is outraged by Rikki’s sympathy for his female client, whom Kate sees as a negligent mother and freeloader. Rikki is disgusted that contact with Carnaby is making her as selfish as her client. Suddenly issues which they could laugh off or resolve in bed erupt into quarrels, whether about who puts out the rubbish bin or about Kate’s ambivalence towards having children. Fighting the case in the court by day while sharing a bed by night, both must reassess their ideas about parenthood, fidelity and the equality of men and women in a modern marriage. From the leafy quadrangles and panelled chambers of London’s legal heartland to glitzy country mansions, THE PERFECT COUPLE is a fun and fast battle of the sexes, packed with wit and emotional truth.

I was just browsing on Amazon, minding my own business when the cover for Zadie Smith’s book Changing My Mind caught my eye. I thought it looked incredibly familiar and I soon realised where I’d seen it before - barring the colours, it looks identical to Adele Park’s new cover design for Men I’ve Loved Before. Similar, no? I would assume they were both designed by the same person, otherwise it’s one heck of a coincidence!
