Queen's Court by Edward O. Phillips “[Phillips] offers diversions, good humour, some entertaining scenes, a few pungent apercus and a sideways glance at the human condition.” —Carol Shields, The Globe and Mail Louise Bingham, recently widowed and sufficiently well-off, decides to leave stuffy old Victoria and move back to Montreal. Into her mid-sixties, she has decided to “play the tape backwards” and revisit the friends and family she left behind many years earlier. Newly installed in a downtown co-op, she has to fend off a well-meaning but officious cousin, an over-bearing (and possibly criminal) neighbour, and a former lover – all while making discoveries about herself and her only son by a former marriage. Told in a breezy tone with great good humour (you’ll laugh on every page) Queen’s Court is vintage Edward O. Phillips – the Oscar Wilde of Canada, according to The Globe and Mail — and his readers will be more than delighted that he has a new book out. About Edward O. Phillips. [download reader's guide]
