Mother-in-law

As soon as Lucy meets her future husband’s mother, she immediately realizes that she is not the wife Diana imagined for her ideal son. Her mother-in-law keeps Lucy at arm’s length despite her daughter-in-law’s desperate attempts to win her affection.

No one would say a bad word about Diana, who has lived in a happy marriage for decades, is a pillar of the local community, and is a fierce advocate for refugee women… except for Lucy. That was five years ago.

And now Diana is dead. Who could have wished her death? Why did she change her will at the last minute and deprive both her children of their inheritance? And why does her mother-in-law’s death not particularly oppress Lucy?
