The talk turned excitedly to the notion that a collection of stories might be fashioned from seven different authors, each re-imagining one of the Sins through the medium of a modern-day character. That notion fell away, but something more considerable stayed in Margaret Kennedy's mind over the next ten years, and so she conceived of a story that would gather the Sins all under the roof of a Cornish seaside hotel managed by the unhappy wife of Sloth . . . Among The Feast's entertaining cast of characters are a clergyman, a gaggle of adolescents and children, a quarter of lovers, and a clutch of frustrated husbands \u0026amp; wives - all serving Kennedy's dark and witty moral fable, which bears out the Biblical adage that many are called but only a very few chosen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Margaret Kennedy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53098123198688,"sku":"9780392002004","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/61PMiRivTDL._SX679.jpg?v=1781691849","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/the-feast","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
