Publisher's Synopsis
"...probably our finest post-war comic novelist." SUNDAY TIMES "...this is David Nobbs's most ambitious book, and his best." BOOKLIST Beautiful, intelligent, witty, passionate and sexy, Kate Thomas has embraced life head-on. And what a life it has been. Her six marriages have ended in a variety of ways, including murder and suicide. And then there was Gwyn, her childhood sweetheart, whose love haunted her for years. Stuck in a hospital bed, Kate plays in her mind the video of her turbulent life as a welcome relief from the mad, sad and bad old women around her. But it is more than an escape. It is also a search for the truth - about life, death, the acceptance of death, and which of her three sons murdered her fifth husband.
