Description
The Widow's ChildrenOn the eve of their trip to Africa, Laura Maldonada Clapper and her husband, Desmond, sit in a New York City hotel room, drinking scotch and sodas and awaiting the arrival of three friends: Clara Hansen, Laura's timid, brow beaten daughter from a previous marriage; Carlos, Laura's flamboyant and charming brother; and Peter Rice, a melancholy editor whom Laura hasn't seen for over a year.

On the eve of their trip to Africa, Laura Maldonada Clapper and her husband, Desmond, sit in a New York City hotel room, drinking scotch-and-sodas and awaiting the arrival of three friends: Clara Hansen, Laura's timid, brow-beaten daughter from a previous marriage; Carlos, Laura's flamboyant and charming brother; and Peter Rice, a melancholy editor whom Laura hasn't seen for over a year. But what begins as a bon voyage party soon parlays into a bitter, claustrophobic clash of family resentment. From the hotel room to the tony restaurant to which the five embark, Laura presides over the escalating innuendo and hostility with imperial cruelty, for she is hiding the knowledge that her mother, the family matriarch, has died of a heart attack that morning. A novel as intense as it is unerringly observed, The Widow's Children is another revelation of the storyteller's art from the incomparable Paula Fox.Binding Type: Paperback

The Best Disposable Dinner Plates I’ve Ever Used!
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Brown
The Best Disposable Dinner Plates I’ve Ever Used!
We’ve been so happy with the other JOLLY CHEF products that we decided to try this larger pack of dinner plates too, and honestly, these are the best disposable dinner plates I’ve ever used.
They’re sturdy, hold up well with heavier meals, and don’t get flimsy or soggy like many disposable plates do. I also appreciate that they’re made from sugarcane fiber instead of foam or plastic-coated paper products.
They’ve been especially great for RV trips, family gatherings, and busy days when saving water and skipping a sink full of dishes is a huge plus.
The large bulk pack is convenient to keep on hand, and I like that they’re eco-friendly and compostable while still feeling durable enough for real meals.
Very happy with this purchase.
I hope that this review helps you decide. I know it’s what I would’ve liked to hear when picking out compostable disposable plates.

Great paper plates
Size: 300 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Brown
I am very happy with the purchase of these plates as a healthier alternative to the coated paper plates you can buy in store. I was worried that they would get flimsy with wet foods but in my experience they hold their form and do the job intended and are durable. The size is great and allows a lot of food. I feel like thw price is fair and the quality is good. They are not decorated like the plates that are in store but I don't care about it being pretty. No harmful plastic or coating. Will definitely be a reoccurring purchase for our household.

These plates are so awesome! They are perfect for outdoor gatherings and for times you just don't want to wash dishes. They are very durable and strong. They don't leak through and they look nice too. I'm definitely buying more when I need them.

It doesn’t change the flavor
Size: 300 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Brown
Great price great value and the quality is good. You can use them in a microwave no matter how you use them. They’re durable. They don’t break down and the flavor stays the normal. It doesn’t take the flavor away.
