Twelve Rooms With a View: A Novel

by Theresa Rebeck Narrated by Marguerite Gavin

Overview

Tina Finn was standing at the edge of her mother's newly dug grave when she first heard about her inheritance. Until this moment she'd been scraping by, living from one paycheck to the next. But all that was about to change.



Now Tina is the proud owner of a huge luxury apartment overlooking Central Park. Things couldn't get much better, right? Wrong. Her half-brothers, left out of the inheritance, think that she has no right to the apartment, and they want her out-by any means necessary.



So that's how Tina went from standing on the edge of her mother's grave to squatting in a twelve-room apartment in the center of New York. Now that she has it all, is she prepared to fight to the end to keep it?

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Rebeck flawlessly, uproariously captures what it means to covet that elusive, transformative, deluxe apartment in the sky." ---USA Today

Library Journal

In acclaimed playwright Rebeck's (www.theresarebeck.com) follow-up to her Alex Award-winning debut novel, Three Girls and Their Brother (2008)—also available from Tantor Audio—Tina Finn is still reeling from the unexpected death of her estranged mother when she learns that she and her sisters stand to inherit an $11 million apartment overlooking New York's Central Park. The sons of her mother's late husband, however, feel they are the rightful owners, and a legal battle ensues. Narrator Marguerite Gavin (The Winter Man) skillfully portrays rebellious, black sheep Tina, who, while living in the apartment, uncovers family history, long-kept secrets, and unexpected friendships as well as discovers something about herself. Recommended where Rebeck's previous book did well. ["Wildly uneven, though not without its bright spots," read the review of the Shaye Areheart: Harmony hc, LJ 5/1/10.—Ed.]—Theresa Stoner, St. Joseph Cty. P.L., South Bend, IN
