The Ante-Room (Virago Modern Classics)
O'Brien's soap opera-ish novel dates back to 1934. In the shadow  of her mother's impending death, Agnes awaits the arrival of her  sister and brother-in-law. Generally this would bring comfort,  but the twist is that Agnes is secretly in love with the man and  knows the marriage is on the rocks. Will she take advantage of  the opportunity?Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
