Loved it! ( ) Over een zeer oude vrouw die haar verleden wil opruimen zonder haar familie daar bij in te schakelen. Peter komt haar helpen orde in de chaos te scheppen. Langzamerhanh vertelt ze hem het verhaal over haar grote liefde, de valse rol van haar zusdaarbij en haar huwelijk met de zeer betrouwbare en begripvolle Gil. Ik las het boek in een paar dagen uit. Mooi om te lezen over die hoge ouderdomen dewil omzelfstandig te blijven en je eigen beslissingen te nemen. Once again, this author has defied my expectations and written a book that appealed strongly to me. I very nearly abandoned it after the first chapter, which I hated. However, it came good and I enjoyed it quite a lot. I guess it is a little further down the 'romance' end of the genre spectrum than I would normally accept, but the characters and most of the situations were quite real to me (that's usually the problem with romance - it's not believable, especially for a cynical and dark person such as me). This focus on aging, dying and death appealed to me because I am doing one or two of those & so is my mother. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Be with me now, at the twilight hour. When the light fails.' 'I'm here.' 'Tell me.' 'What shall I tell you?' 'Tell me about us, when we were young. What was it like? What was I like then?' Eleanor Lee has lived a fiercely independent existence for over ninety years, but now it's time to tidy her life away - books, photographs, paintings, letters - a lifetime of possessions all neatly boxed up for the last time. But amongst them there are some things that must be kept hidden. And, nearing blindness, Eleanor needs help to uncover them before her children and grandchildren do. Peter, a young man with a broken heart who feels as lost as Eleanor's past, is employed to help with this task. And together they uncover traces of another life, words and photographs telling a story of forbidden love, betrayal, passion, grief and self-sacrifice, which Eleanor must visit one last time. By speaking her memories out loud, and releasing the secrets of her past, Eleanor can finally lay them to rest. To honour them at last, and protect those who must never know.
