About this title

Synopsis:

Book by Marshall, Tom

From Library Journal:

Aging and widowed, Adele Driscoll revels in gin-soaked fantasies of lost loves and days gone by. She now lives in a residential hotel in Toronto with her companion, Florence, who is intent upon bringing her into the fold of Brother Garythough Adele is justifiably concerned that the latter is more interested in acquiring her fortune than saving her soul. Fearful for her personal safety, Adele repeatedly tries to contact her adopted son, Kevin, who is living in a loft in New York reminiscing about his own checkered past. The novel is one of reconciliation, both of an individual to himself or herself and of mother and son. In his U.S. fiction debut, Canadian Marshall writes effectively and poetically of two people coming to a better understanding. Kimberly G. Allen, Georgetown Univ. Law Lib., Washington, D.C.
