The Widow's Weeds (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

One evening, Viola goes missing.

The explanation-a visit to her son-seems doubtful and her women friends' messages go unanswered. A spiky, caustic woman, Viola's heavy drinking makes her tiresome company, but they know nothing of her troubled past.

Yet, Maisie misses Viola. Recently, their shared love of gardening has almost blunted Viola's barbs, and Maisie is much in need of a close friend. Her house is a building site, her daughter's wedding is looming. Most worrying is her friendship with handsome, formidable Oliver Harrington. She cannot work out what he wants from it, nor, really, what she wants, either. She barely has time to wonder where Viola has gone.

As Maisie grapples with her present-day preoccupations, Viola's tale unfolds: a dark landscape of tragedy and suffering. Their two stories collide in an explosive finale. Can the two women rescue each other?

This third book in the Widows series stands alone. A story of weeds and wildflowers, tenacity and tenderness, and containing potentially upsetting details of domestic abuse, alcoholism, and bereavement, this is ultimately an affirmation of the strength and power of women's friendships.
