Manslaughter

Some women keep falling for tough guys; some women keep falling for eggheads; Raymonde Susan Bailey keeps falling for men who keep falling to their deaths. After the demise of husband number three, it seems clear that Raymonde is the woman behind all these push-overs. But what, wonder Mona and Elaine, Raymonde's closest friends and confidants, would drive this mother of three to murder?. This rich narrative traces Raymonde's life from its simple beginnings in Shannon Falls, Quebec, through three marriages and her abiding friendship with Type-A Elaine and Moaning Mona, to her incarceration in a Welsh prison. A savagely funny first novel, Man-S-Laughter explores the relationship between men and women, women and women, and friendship and love.
