AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Jade is a wild woman, a she-devil nobody believed would ever give up on life. But she has. Banjo, her husband of over twenty years, is dead, killed by a hit and run driver after walking out on a fierce fight with her. He had always been the stable one, the one she came back to, the one who accepted her for her untamed ways. But in a fit of pride she let him go and now Jade lies in bed, refusing to eat or speak, while Banjo’s spirit watches her and waits.

'Their daughters, gentle Lissy and feisty Cassandra, struggle to come to terms with their obstinate mother and her will to die. As the police search for the person who killed their father, Cassandra discovers Jade’s Book of Lovers, a secret, artistic journal chronicling Jade’s extra-marital relationships. Desperate to save her mother Lissy contacts some of the men with whom Jade shared her body and heart in the hope that one of them might have the power to lure her from her wilful stupor.'
