 Poison (2006)
"The death of flamboyant writer and womanizer Peter Grosvenor sets in motion
a series of spiraling events surrounding his legacy and his estate. His bitter
third wife, his two children, his sister, his friends, and his would-be
biographers are drawn into a maelstrom of intense memories and painful encounters
as each of the major players in Peter's life seeks to appropriate Peter's
estate for his or her own purposes. As a complex story of passion, jealousy,
and loss unfolds, the figures that had once blossomed in Peter's presence
spin off into their own orbits and turn against one another without the anchor
of his charismatic presence. Ultimately, the tragedy and scandal that marred
his life cannot be ended even by his death. Susan Fromberg Schaeffer writes
with exquisite flavor and measure; character, history, and relationships
build into a large, minutely detailed canvas and remind us why she is a master
of the epic novel."
