Louise Bingham, recently widowed and sufficiently well-off, decides to leave stuffy old Vicotria 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 style with great good humour, Queen’s Court is vintage Edward O. Phillips.
