| |  | | | In Brief
In this novel "Devina Blunt is a lonely widow marooned in grief when the handsome Corrigan rolls his wheelchair into her exquisite drawing room, collecting for charity. His persistence and concern at first attract her notice,then rivet her attention, and ultimately--to the horror of her married daughter--dominate her life. . . . Her time, money, and heretofore untapped energy are dedicated to his cause." (Libr J)
| | | | From The Publisher
"Corrigan is at once a mordant comedy of manners and a very modern morality play. Since her husband's death, the increasingly frail Mrs. Blunt has had only her trips to his grave to look forward to. Her raucous housekeeper's conversation, and cooking, are best forgotten. Nadine, her daughter, is an infrequent, uneasy visitor." Then one day a charming, wheelchair-bound Irishman shows up at Mrs. Blunt's door in search of charitable contributions. Corrigan is an arch manipulator, Mrs. Blunt is his mark, and before long we realize that they are made for each other. As the two grow ever more entrenched, Nadine fears for her mother's safety (or is it for her own inheritance?).
