What's it about? From the publisher, Overlook Press:
"The beautiful, bright, and ambitious Natalie should be doing something with her life. But instead, she’s stuck in a dead-end job and instead of improving her place in the world by her own efforts, takes advantage of the honesty of those around her, ultimately leaving them damaged and broken. Of course she denies responsibility, even when confronted with undeniable evidence that she is involved. So, when she sees a chance to change her life, she doesn’t hesitate to take it, even if it’s at the expense of someone else. After all, it’s only a minor crime. Nobody’s going to get hurt.
But Natalie’s actions actually do have unforeseen and tragic consequences, and the ultimate question is will she be capable to meet the final demand to own up to what she has done? Emotionally taut and beautifully written, Final Demand is a cautionary tale about the battle between greed and love, and our own frailty in the face of temptation."

ReplyDeleteI just love Deborah's books. I have read several (Close to Home, Porky, Seesaw etc) Tulip Fever was one of my favourites. Thrilled to read that they've filming it. Actually, I as surprised to see this book on your blog as she wrote this back in 2001. Perhaps it's being re-released in NA. Moggach is a writer who deserves to be more widely known/read here.
