As something so far so removed from my own, it was both fascinating and so alien to me, but it felt so real and tangible all at the same time. Right from the book’s opening I was sucked into their crazy world of non-stop football training and harsh fitness regiment. Promising the one thing he knows she can’t refuse, will he win her back to work? And what will it cost him in the long run?
When his personal assistant of two years, Vanessa Mazur, leaves suddenly and without warning, Graves finds his mind straying from the single-minded course of football and his life in disarray. For as long as he can remember, the sport that he doesn’t even particularly like has ruled every moment and movement of his life.Until it doesn’t.
Desperate Graves makes an offer that Vanessa can’t ignore, but is the cost too high? And how will her pride handle working under the most insufferable and thankless man she has ever meet before?Īiden Graves lives and breathes football. Fed up and pushed too far one day, Vanessa walks away from Graves for good only to find the man at her door step weeks later begging for her to come back. One could say Vanessa lives and breathes Aiden’s life, all without a single thanks or smile in acknowledgement from the big man himself. On a daily basis, her life revolves around his every grunt, whim and need covering everything from cooking his many daily vegetarian meals, to managing his email and social media accounts, knowing his daily schedule, handling his manager from hell and rescheduling and dealing with the fall out when Graves chooses not to attend his public events. Touted as perhaps Zapata’s most well known and loved book to date, The Wall of Winnipeg And Me comes in at a whooping 673 pages of divine writing, sexual chemistry and just beautiful writing and characters.Īiden Graves is one of the country’s most successful and well known defensive footballers, but no one really knows the man behind the name … except perhaps for Vanessa Mazur, Graves’ personal assistant.

She has plans and none of them include washing extra-large underwear longer than necessary.īut when Aiden Graves shows up at her door wanting her to come back, she’s beyond shocked.įor two years, the man known as The Wall of Winnipeg couldn’t find it in him to tell her good morning or congratulate her on her birthday.
