Can You Forgive Her is Elaine SegalÕs final Ònovel in a thimble,Ó a posthumous tour de force, as witty and morally complex a look at the world we live in now as was TrollopeÕs nineteenth-century novel from which she took her title. This picture book for adults poses the big questionsÑthe impossibility of making clear moral decisions in a world filled with moral ambiguity, the downside of always telling the truthÑwhile its central character confronts the wages of corporate sin, a heartbreaking bus ride, a tragic meltdown in the school cafeteria. As funny and fiercely brilliant a view of the world as we came to expect from its author, one of National Public RadioÕs most remarkable commentators, Can You Forgive Her has been brought to vivid life in glorious illustrations by Bob Brunell.
