A dark, sparklingly witty novel about life, love, death and happiness from the natural successor to Carol Shields.
One woman is an ex-beauty queen, one a recovering addict to virtue and one is an artist. The man of the old house on the hill is Philip and he has died overnight. Luck follows the three days following Philip's death as the three women are propelled into circumstances none of them could ever have imagined. The Wife: Nora is an artist. Following a series of paintings of naked women in 'biblical' positions, she has been branded a blasphemer and been stalked by fundamentalist groups who have besieged her home. The Lover: Sophie is a former overseas aid worker who originally joined the family as their housekeeper. Over the last few months she became Philip's lover. Will Nora guess the truth about her relationship? The Muse: An ethereal former beauty queen, Beth harbours a dark secret - she murdered her own mother. In the wake of Philip's death, she becomes seriously unhinged, but will anyone notice? 3 days, 3 women. The big question is 'What next?'
