Praise for Instances
of the Number 3
BOOK
OF THE MONTH
"After
Peter handsome died, people were surprised that his widow seemed
to be spending so much time with his mistress." So begins
Salley Vickers' wonderful exploration of love and relationships.
The author of Miss Garnet's Angel again beguiles with her breadth
of vision and understanding of human feelings and foibles.
Her
fiction has a haunting quality - moments from this story cling
to the memory - and just when you think you see where she's
going, there's a surprise. Instances of the number 3 is an
unexpected
view of triangles; the man, his wife and his mistress; his
artist, his model and his art; love, illusion and moral choice;
heaven,
hell and purgatory. A witty, ironic, and thoughtful novel.
