Virtue

Publisher Blurb:

Middle-aged Gloria knows she's made it: finally she has it all--kids at a posh school, a house in a posh town, and her confidence, shaky for so long, in a place that befits her new upper-middle-class lifestyle. Unfortunately, the universe has other ideas than letting her settle. When she's out walking her beautiful Border Collie pup Clio along the equally-beautiful canal, she stumbles on an incident that tests her new-found composure and sends her on a self-righteous path of utterly ludicrous foundations. ("Someone has been caught doing what now on the canal !?"). She's quick to blame the easy targets, and equally as slow to scrutinise her own family.
