The Skeleton Woman

Description

Rose Anthony is reeling from a series of major and minor crises — including breast cancer and a rift with her lover Olga — when life becomes still more complicated. Someone has literally left a baby on her doorstep, and skeletons are rattling in their closets. This fifth novel from a much-loved writer is a delight: a tightly plotted and entertaining story whose heroine provides a comic, human foil to the seemingly inhuman.
