The Will Of Magda Townsend

Still vibrantly alive at eighty, a successful novelist relives her past as she makes her will.

Magda Townsend has known triumph and tragedy – a disastrous first marriage to a dashing, ineffectual young man, the joys of motherhood, the shock of bereavement, and a late marriage to a man she truly loved. Here is the compelling portrait of a woman brave enough to affirm her life in all its vicissitudes, one whose final bequest is surely her greatest gift of all.
