Completely different from my usual books, but extremely interesting!
It follows three siblings and their father’s partner after their father has died. He leaves a will, but in it his only instructions are that the siblings have to all agree on what to do with his estate or it all gets donated to charity, the only other person that is named in the will is his carer of the last few months of his life.
What follows is a weekend of arguments, sly digs and suspicion. And when the ex wife turns up, it looks like things could get explosive between her and her ex husband’s grieving partner. The family have never taken to her, blaming her for splitting the family up.
It was very interesting seeing the family dynamics, and trying to work out the secrets that the siblings are hiding from each other and what big things have been going on in their lives that the others don’t know about.
A very interesting concept, and something that I don’t know a lot about. Definitely one that I’ll be recommending to people who want something a little different.
