Kate Thomas was beautiful intelligent witty passionate and sexy. Now at the ripe old age of ninety-nine she is trapped in a hospital ward of sad mad and bad old women. She escapes by playing to herself the video of her life. What a life it has been. Her six marriages have ended in suicide a husband’s adultery another husband’s deportation as a dangerous alien a union dispute a murder and a natural death. But Kate’s journey through the twentieth century is also a search for the truth - about life death and which of her three sons murdered her fifth husband.This is a novel rich in memorable characters from Kate’s narrow but loving Welsh family to the wild members of an artists’ colony in Cornwall; from Midland piston manufacturers to an investigative journalist whose own life cannot bear investigation.
