Blurb (from back cover): "Looking back over a turbulent lifetime, Flora Dunbar recalls an eccentric childhood lived in the shadow of her musical twin, Rory; early marriage to Hugh, a handsome clergyman twice her age; motherhood, which brought her Theo, the son she couldn't love; middle age, when she finally found brief happiness in a scandalous affair with her nephew, Colin.
"Now Flora Dunbar is dead. But it isn't over.
"The spectre at the funeral is Flora herself, unobserved by her grieving family and the four men who loved her..."
Opinion: I'm trying hard to come up with something positive to say. I didn't give it an F because I read it. The unrealistic relationship with Flora and Rory is disgusting and annoying. Incest, incest, incest. Annoying characters. I'm happily moving this along.
