Description
The Widow's ChildrenOn the eve of their trip to Africa, Laura Maldonada Clapper and her husband, Desmond, sit in a New York City hotel room, drinking scotch and sodas and awaiting the arrival of three friends: Clara Hansen, Laura's timid, brow beaten daughter from a previous marriage; Carlos, Laura's flamboyant and charming brother; and Peter Rice, a melancholy editor whom Laura hasn't seen for over a year.

On the eve of their trip to Africa, Laura Maldonada Clapper and her husband, Desmond, sit in a New York City hotel room, drinking scotch-and-sodas and awaiting the arrival of three friends: Clara Hansen, Laura's timid, brow-beaten daughter from a previous marriage; Carlos, Laura's flamboyant and charming brother; and Peter Rice, a melancholy editor whom Laura hasn't seen for over a year. But what begins as a bon voyage party soon parlays into a bitter, claustrophobic clash of family resentment. From the hotel room to the tony restaurant to which the five embark, Laura presides over the escalating innuendo and hostility with imperial cruelty, for she is hiding the knowledge that her mother, the family matriarch, has died of a heart attack that morning. A novel as intense as it is unerringly observed, The Widow's Children is another revelation of the storyteller's art from the incomparable Paula Fox.Binding Type: Paperback

We are still laughing! Great toy
Fun, Interactive, and Great Quality Dog Toy
We purchased this dog toy and it has been an absolute hit in our home 🐶😄. As soon as we opened it, our dog was immediately interested. The main toy opens up and includes three individual “cigarettes” inside, which keeps the playtime going and makes it much more engaging.
We’ve had so much fun taking photos and videos because he carries it everywhere:
🛏️ to his dog bed
🛋️ to the living room while we watch TV
🛌 to the bedroom to stay close to us
The quality is excellent:
✔️ Durable, well-made materials
✔️ Strong stitching
✔️ Bright, attractive colors
✔️ Perfect size for carrying and playing
This toy is not only interactive but also very original compared to typical dog toys. You can tell it’s designed to stimulate curiosity and keep dogs entertained.
We are very happy with this purchase and would definitely buy from NestPark again. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a fun, unique, and durable toy your dog will truly enjoy 🐾💛.

Does your dog need a little something to take the edge off?
If your dog has a hard job of having to put up with a needy owner all day (me), this helps them step outside and take the edge off.
Seriously, my dog grabs this fake cig and suddenly she’s a 45-year-old trucker named Bernadette who’s seen too much, and only calls me on Christmas when she needs had a couple glasses and feels bad for the other 364 days of the year for being an absent mother.
These are cute and great quality. And honestly with the “pack” part and the three cigarettes, you technically get four toys. We’ve stuffed treats inside just for fun/enrichment and she enjoys snuffling them out (the pack opens from the top and can close). And plus with them being bigger, they fit our other dog who is larger and even our small dog gets a kick out of snatching one and running around the room like a madman.
This is a fun toy to buy and we would get it again. Plus it’ll be a cute Christmas gift to order for our dog friends who have a good sense of humor.

Funniest dog toy I own!
My dog loves these and my friends love them even more. They are funny, cute and the perfect size for my beagle. It did not last very long because he’s a chewer but great value for the money!

Smaller than expected
These are hilarious and super cute.
But beware, the ones I received were much smaller than depicted in other reviews as well as the advertisement itself.
I ended up returning them because of the size felt silly to keep something so expensive for such a small size.
Amazon happily accepted my return.
But again, disappointed because they were so tiny. I can’t speak to their durability because we did not use them. But they did have a squeaker.

Huge hit with the Labrador! Three crinkly, smokes with quiet squeaky sound, he wouldn’t let them go - great item!
