Divine Blunt, the wealthy widow of a colonel, lives in the memories of her beloved husband and rarely leaves the dim bedroom of her cottage in pastoral Wiltshire. Her relationship with her daughter, Nadine, is failing, her former hobbies have lost their meaning, and the only things that fill her monotonous days are visits to the cemetery and the chatter of her noisy housekeeper. But one day, a charming Irishman in a wheelchair appears on the doorstep, collecting donations. A friendship blossoms between them. Corrigan and Divine spend hours discussing poetry, devising charitable projects, and drinking champagne. The more cordial their relationship becomes, the more Nadine doubts her aging mother's sanity and worries about her safety. What if Nadine is right? Corrigan is a master manipulator, and Mrs. Blunt is his victim... They are made for each other.

Afterword by Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon: The Anatomy of Depression.
