Better Reading Preview: The Deed by Susannah Begbie
A perceptive and unforgettable debut novel from the 2022 Richell Prize winner, The Deed explores the messy, sometimes volatile, complications that only the best and worst of family can bring.
Tom Edwards is dying, and cranky. He’s made his peace with the dying part. But he’d bet his property – the whole ten thousand acres of it – that there’d be no wailing at his funeral. His kids wouldn’t be able to chop down a tree, let alone build a coffin to bury him in.
Then Tom has an idea…
Christine is furious, David ashen-faced, and Sophie distracted. Only Jenny listens carefully as Vince Barton, of Barton & Sons, reads their father’s will. Either they build his coffin – in four days – or they lose their inheritance. All of it.
