Book description
When a rich man you never knew dies and his opulent apartment is left
to you, you'd think it was the answer to your dreams. But perhaps it is
the start of a living nightmare…a sharp, intelligent and dark tale from
the creator of hit series SMASH.
Possession is nine-tenths of the law. Or is it?
Tina Finn was standing at the edge of her mother's newly-dug grave when
she first heard about her inheritance. Until this moment she'd been
scraping by, living from one pay cheque to the next. But all that was
about to change…
Now she's the proud owner of a huge luxury apartment overlooking
Central Park. Things couldn't get much better, right? Wrong. Her half
brothers, left out of the inheritance, think that she has no right to
the apartment and they want her out - by any means necessary.
So that's how Tina went from standing on the edge of her mother's grave
to squatting in a twelve room apartment in the centre of New York. Now
she has it all, is she prepared to fight to the end to keep it? Praise
for 'Three Girls and their Brother':
'Both dark and comic'
Publsihing News
'Rebeck shines…her insiders look at the theatre world is spot on and
uproarious…crackling satire and scene stealing secondaries carry the book'
US Publishers Weekly
'Playwright Rebeck's first novel is a wickedly enjoyable exposé of
modern celebrity…Rebeck's dramatic skills are evident in the youthful,
often profane voices…A timely and entertaining modern morality tale.'
Kirkus
'“Three Girls and their Brother” is a brilliant fiction debut. Rebeck
weaves such an atmosphere of excitement and turmoil. I felt genuinely
close to these characters - all three sisters and their brother. The
insider's look at the life of young models and the way instant success
can upend everything resonates in hilarious and heart-breaking ways. I
found it impossible to put this book down.” Carol Goodman, Author of
'The Lake of Dead Languages'
