«La signora dei funerali» is the novel by Madeleine Wickham, published by Mondadori in paperback (285 pages, in Italian).
Fleur Daxeny is an unscrupulous woman who reads obituaries in the Times and crashes funerals of the rich to seduce grieving widowers and use their credit cards. The plan gets complicated when she meets Richard Favour, a predictable widower who makes her rethink her lifestyle. A satire of British high society with touches of cynicism.
The novel was originally published in English in 1998 under the title «The Gatecrasher». This Italian edition, translated by Nicoletta Lamberti, belongs to the Oscar bestsellers collection.
For fans of romantic comedy and British social satire, and to discover the early work of Madeleine Wickham, later Sophie Kinsella.
