Description
Corrigan is a complex exploration of human relationships and morality. Since her husband's death, Mrs Blunt has found solace in her solitary visits to his grave, but her life takes an unexpected turn when a charming, wheelchair-bound Irishman appears at her doorstep.
The arrival of this charismatic stranger sets off a chain of events that exposes the darker aspects of human nature. As Corrigan and Mrs Blunt become increasingly entwined, Nadine, her daughter, begins to fear for her mother's safety - or perhaps her own inheritance.
Through the lens of this intricate relationship, Caroline Blackwood offers a nuanced critique of our societal norms and expectations, revealing the blurred lines between good and evil, victimhood and villainy. This thought-provoking novel is a searing examination of human relationships and the complexities that bind us together.
