She&rsquo;s an orphan who spent her childhood in foster homes. Her handsome, charming husband Billy can&rsquo;t hold down a job. And they&rsquo;re both stuck in a grimy London flat with no prospects for their future beyond the periodic welfare check. That is, until Ange concocts a lie that will change their lives. Her con targets the wealthy, twice-divorced businessman Fabian Ormerod, whom, with the approval of her husband, she is determined to trick into a very advantageous marriage&mdash;with a quick divorce to follow.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Gillian White&rsquo;s cutting, sardonic style unfurls in <i>The Beggar Bride</i>, as she needles England&rsquo;s stiff upper crust, the titans of business, and the idle poor below them.</div>
