The Once and Future Queen

We spend a summer with an unlikely collection of people for whom the past is more important than they imagine. The strands of their lives unexpectedly interweave. Each is a piece of a living jig-saw. Gradually, they put us in the picture. These extraordinary, ordinary characters share with us a world where life's casual & inexplicable mysteries are discussed & accepted as commonplace. O'Brien explores major themes of life, death & belief in a warm-hearted, easy style that is both beguiling & funny . Her undemanding intellect brings 'ologies and 'osophiesout to play. An unworldly mischief is afoot here. You can'thelp but think out of the box.
