What would you do if all that you dreamed appeared in a fruit bowl on the sideboard in
your living room? A bundle of cash, a diamond the size of a golf ball and a winning lottery
ticket are just the beginning for Nick, Geri and Dan. When there are no limits, what will
you do? What CAN'T you do?
The text message arrived at the most inopportune time: while Nick was being fired from
his job and threatened with total ruination by an arrogant CEO. The message was from his
anchor in life, his girlfriend Geri, so he was happy to read it and to do as she asked,
"Can u plz pick up a fruit bowl on ur way home. Try Esther May Morrow’s on Trent Street.
Thanks. Luv u. G." He'd never heard of Esther May Morrow's Buy and Borrow, but he searched
it out, and picked up on the weirdo vibe as soon as he walked in the door. "Make me an offer,"
she said. He rummaged though his wallet and pulled out a ten-pound note, all the cash he had.
She wrote out a receipt. "Everything I own for one glass bowl." and promised not to charge him
any more than this if he should want a replacement.
What is Esther May Morrow and why does she play with the lives of humans? As we saw in the
previous book, Esther May Morrow's Lot 62 (also
reviewed on
Myshelf.com), she isn't all-knowing and she doesn't always get it right. But in Fruitless
she is right there when Nick and Geri need her most, changing history and the future to make them
happy. So vicious imp or bumbling guardian angel? I guess we'll just have to wait on the next
installment in this imaginative series to find out more!
