Family Money

Front Cover
Virago, 1997 - Fiction - 250 pages
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.
