 The
Children of the Roses
A Novel
by Warren Adler
The darkly hilarious sequel to The War of the Roses.
The Children of the Roses
in typical Adler black comedy fashion deals with the impact of the Rose's
horrific demise as described in The War of the Roses on their children and
their grandchildren. The Roses children, Josh who is now married to Victoria and
his hugely overweight happy-go-lucky sister Evie, who has not married but finds
pleasure at the trough and through a series of live-in lovers. Considering the
experience of Josh Rose and his bride, Victoria, also the victim of parental
mayhem, theirs should be a perfect marriage. Instead, they find themselves in a
different kind of shattering warfare. The overstuffed and ever-sympathetic Evie
and Victoria's demonic and ever-sympathetic, male hating mother are their constant
counterfoils. Throw in a suave headmaster who turns out to be a relentless
sexual predator and blackmailing mobster-type husband and the stage is set for a
rollicking nasty fun little tale.
