Items related to Family Money (Virago Modern Classics)
Fanny Pye's London house, bought for a song many years earlier, is now worth a small fortune. When she intervenes in a street brawl and is hospitalized, her children tactfully suggest that she move to the suburbs, coincidently releasing some useful "family money." Fanny has different views about inheritance and property, and is far more concerned that she cannot properly remember the events of that night which ended in the death of a stranger. Then, as her amnesia clears, she is overwhelmed by a terrible sense of danger.

About the Author:
Nina Bawden CBE, is one of Britain’s most distinguished and best-loved novelists. She has published over 40 novels and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize for Circles of Deceit. In 2004 she received the PEN Award for a Lifetime’s Service to Literature.
From AudioFile:
Nina Bawden's most recent story concerns Fanny Pye, a widow in her sixties, who is mugged when she intervenes in a street fight. As she recuperates, her memory still fuzzy, her grown son and daughter assume she will be unable to take care of herself. Fanny reasserts herself and succeeds in reclaiming her own life and her independence. This audio production is excellent. Actress Eleanor Bron reads confidently with expert pacing. She differentiates among characters without exaggeration. Family Money is a good choice for popular listening. N.B.H. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
