About the Book

Joe Fortune, a Jewish GP, has been married to Anna, his Aryan beauty, for twenty years, in a relationship that is sustained with great passion and happiness. But in the shadows of their lives, dark secrets are hidden. Joe has long nurtured a desire to murder Gordon, Anna's father; a motive born of past events and involving revenge, mutual hatred, and Gordon's deep prejudice for Joe's Judaism. 'If you wrong us, shall we not seek revenge?' Anna too is hiding deep, painful secrets. In a highly charged expose, the reader is led back and forth over the changing face of the last half century to discover love, lies, passion, religion, cruelty and violence. While the powerful Joe is revealed as angry and resentful, Anna's quiet dignity discloses her own extraordinary and shocking revelations.

About the Author :
The Crowded Bed is Mary's her first published novel, born out of her two fascinations. The strange and secret life that is lived within the mind, and the myriad of changes in social and moral behaviour over the last fifty years. She would describe her style as Daphne du Maurier meets Tom Sharpe, but her favourite authors are George Orwell and Arnold Bennett.

Review :
"If you're squeamish, look away now." This funny and dramatic first novel about the darkest of family secrets begins with Joe Fortune, a charismatic Jewish doctor, killing his father-in-law. Joe has good reasons for wanting Gordon dead - better reasons than your average murderer. The sanity of his adored wife, Anna, a fragile Botticelli blonde, may depend on it. Meanwhile, Joe must decide exactly how Jewish he wants to be. It is a tall story, but is told so artfully that there are genuine surprises. The Times, 17 March 2007"The Crowded Bed is a skillfully complex, psychological piece full of high drama and murky secrets". The Oxford Times
