The Story
Vanilla Bordello is a businesswoman heading for a crisis. If she doesn’t find out why her dreams are stuffed with anchovies, she’ll surely go mad. But when professional analyst, Orinoco Elpreto turns up to help, it’s obvious things can only get worse.
Meet Nanny Fran, Georgina, Zimmerstein, Delmar Anchovy, JJ, Daisy May, Egg and Bacon and be witness to the sidesplitting moments when the gigantic PC Ingle, with his deep spaghetti bolognese voice, comes on the scene in this frolic through the unexpected.
From fashionistas to kidnappers, Anchovy Tree will keep you entertained until the lights go out.
And to complicate matters, Vanilla is a woman in a muddle who doesn’t know if she’s homosexual, bisexual, tri-sexual or just plain greedy. And when she has a baby to resolve her issues, things really take a dive to the bottom of the ocean.
A must-read for everyone no matter what their sexual orientation.
Background
Anchovy Tree Is Pulford’s second novel and took around 15 years to get into print after she scribbled it down (yes with pen and paper) in about six weeks.
The comedy caper explores what happens when a mother gives birth and discovers she doesn’t have any maternal instincts.
It’s bizarre, raunchy, hilarious in places, poignant in others. Anchovy Tree is a mixture of the outrageous and slightly insane.
Some have queried Pulford’s sanity after reading the book – all she says in explanation is that her imagination happens to be more like a firework than a flower.
“I wanted to make people laugh and sometimes you have to go a bit ‘off the wall’ to complete something original.”
