Más información sobre el libro

"The formerly beautiful, still wealthy and powerful Elizabeth Hunter lies dying in her Sydney mansion. She receives around-the-clock care from three devoted nurses and is doted upon by her cook and her solicitor. As ruthless as she has been in her life, Elizabeth still commands the admiration and respect of those about her. She even has the grudging esteem of her children, Sir Basil, the celebrated actor, and Princess de Lascabane, an adoptive French aristocrat, both of whom fly in from abroad to share their mother's final days and, incidentally, her estate. The novel relates the story of Elizabeth's life by juxtaposing the present to her own memories."--Enotes.com
