Surely, it's all anyone could possibly want? But when Jonathan experiences a sudden heart attack (or so he thinks), Barbara realises that she wants a new life, without him. There's just one problem: they both want the house. For husband and wife, it's not just a residence: it's a passion, one that will provide the battlefield, complete with weapons and casualties, for the escalating war that follows. In this vicious black comedy, the Roses will each do whatever they can to destroy their better half - no matter the cost to themselves . . .

Recensioner i media

The divorcing Roses go to battle over their beautiful home and the objects in it - and take revenge to stunning heights. You may have seen the fantastic 1989 film with Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas, but the book is even more terrifying, black-humoured, black-hearted and bristling because you're trapped inside the self-justifying, increasingly mad minds of [Jonathan] and Barbara Rose
