Sinopse

Fleur Daxeny has a talent for crashing funerals, hunting for millionaires she can win over, empty their bank accounts, and then dispose of. But this time, things don't go exactly as planned.

You've probably heard of Sophie Kinsella, one of the most important names in contemporary literature. Over 40 million copies sold in 60 countries have established Kinsella as the absolute queen of her genre. What you may not know is that this brilliant career began shortly before the pseudonym Sophie Kinsella existed, when the author signed her works with her real name. As Madeleine Wickham, the English author wrote six novels, hitting the bestseller list upon her debut, an immediate success with both critics and the public. The author reaffirms her versatility and brilliance with narratives completely different from those she writes as Sophie, more acerbic, irreverent, but equally captivating.

In The Funeral Queen, she explores the life of Fleur Daxeny, a woman addicted to designer hats, unlimited credit cards, and rich men. Neither angel nor devil, the beautiful and seductive heroine struggles to sustain her lifestyle. What better place to secure her next conquest than at a funeral? After all, a recent widower is always in need of a friendly shoulder. It seemed like the perfect plan... except her material interests conflict with those of her heart when she meets Richard Favour, a sweet and loving man still trying to get over his wife's death. Fleur finds herself wanting to be more than a friend to him. The only problem is Richard's bank account...

In The Funeral Queen , with an engaging and intoxicating text set against the backdrop of the crazy 1990s, Madeleine Wickham plays with the nuances of each character's human psyche and their idiosyncrasies, and makes us reflect on the way we relate to one another, the perpetual idealism juxtaposed with solid reality, without ever losing sight of the fact that, behind the mountain of despair, hope always continues to shine.” - Carina Rissi
