Game of Life

In her rare moments of doubt, Marjorie Passley is guided by the words of wisdom found in a slim book called 'The Game Of Life And How To Play It'. She is an apt pupil and when the time comes for action she doesn't shirk, taking younger sister Molly with her to the British Crown Colonies. Marjorie quickly creates a name for herself -- admired, envied, disliked, but never ignored -- rising to dizzy social heights in the small backwater. Told with humor and insight, the formidable sisters become involved with the islanders, epidemics, the United Nations, bird-watchers and the cultivation of coca plants.Booth, Barbara is the author of 'Game of Life', published 2002 under ISBN 9780753165737 and ISBN 0753165732.
