**How many fundraisers do you read about in novels? Can you imagine a John Grisham
novel about a charity fundraiser or a Barbara Taylor Bradford blockbuster featuring
a fundraising events manager? **

Perhaps not, but UK Fundraising has found a popular novel featuring a fundraiser.

Kurt Anderson’s _Turn of the Century_ features Lizzie Zimbalist, a former charity
fundraiser and now a New York-based games software executive. “This book’s vision
of next year will last a good five to seven years. I didn’t want the novel ever 
to end,” said the New York Times’ reviewer.
