Judy Blume. Jane Morgan is a valued member of her law firm – or was, until a prudish neighbor, binoculars poised, observes her having sex on the roof of her Manhattan apartment building. Police are summoned, and a judge sentences her to six months of home confinement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith Jane now jobless and rootless, trapped at home, life looks bleak. Yes, her twin sister provides support and advice, but mostly of the unwelcome kind. So when a doorman lets slip that Jane isn't the only resident of her building wearing an ankle monitor, she strikes up a friendship with fellow white-collar felon Perry Salisbury.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs she tries to adapt to her new circumstances, she discovers she hasn't heard the end of that nosy neighbor – whose past isn't as decorous as her snitching would suggest. Why are police knocking on Jane's door again? Might her house arrest have a silver lining? Can two wrongs make a right?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 128 x 198 x 21 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781785633829\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elinor Lipman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44584330789114,"sku":"9781785633829","price":7.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1695400901338_book.jpg?v=1695494985","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/ms-demeanor-9781785633829","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
