The Last Will and Testament of Henry Hoffman by John Tesarsch

by
January-February 2016, no. 378

John Tesarsch's second novel, following the acclaimed The Philanthropist (2010), concerns the will of Henry Hoffman, a brilliant but taciturn mathematician who has committed suicide on his farm in rural Victoria. Hoffman's three children – doctoral student Eleanor, property entrepreneur Robbie, and concert pianist Sarah – are to varying degrees confounded by their father's final wishes: what possible motive might there be for the surprise his executor has delivered?
