Synopsis

Henry Checket and Peggy Thurston have been forgotten by society. They spend their final years in an old people's home run by the domineering Veronica Fairhurst. Each brings with them a past life, of pleasures and regrets, that they neither want nor are able to forget. As their relationship develops, they each discover much about their true selves, including a shared inclination to rebellion. Steering a fine course between comedy and tragedy, Lot's Wife proceeds with verve and passion towards the unexpected dramas of its conclusion. Tom Wakefield's new novel will delight his readers, old acquaintances and newcomers alike. It is the work of a most gifted writer who, rare for today, loves and empathizes with his characters.
