The love child - Antonia Swinson

Richard, big spender and picture dealer extraordinaire, is tall and handsome - and broke, when his disreputable mother pops her clogs having spent his trust fund. Harriet, mother and businesswoman, has life all tastefully arranged in spite of five exasperating years of marriage to Richard. Then her mother-in-law bequeathes her a portrait which sets her off on new, dangerous paths. Katya, Richard's artist love child, has a chip on each shoulder and a stud in her tongue. Murdo is probably the sexiest Scot Nat in Largs. Junk shop owner, folk singer and professional wooer of unsuspecting tourists, he has a mad granny, no cash and more personal history than is good for him.



All four collide in Antonia Swinson's hilarious new novel.
