Marie learns the unsavoury truth about her late father's double life, while her elderly mother, Flavia, remains oblivious.
Molly McGrann's novel imagines the impact of the discovery of a man's double life.
For decades, Arthur Gillies ran high-class brothels in the most exclusive parts of London. Fifteen years on from his death, after a mix up at the bank, his daughter Marie has discovered that her father's estate contains millions of pounds, but still has no idea where the money has come from. She's secretly quit her job and is planning her first ever foreign holiday. Her elderly mother, Flavia, remains oblivious to it all.
