A moving portrait of love, loss and redemption
• • • • • (bewertet mit 5 von 5 Punkten)
Hagar Shipley is a repressed woman, simply put, and one who is nearing the end of her long life. Realising she hasn't many years left, and watching her body and mind fall apart, Hagar comes to understand the chances she has missed and the mistakes she has made. Looking into the mirror she can still see the eyes of the young girl she once was, and through her memories works through the issues left unresolved from her life. By the end of the book you will understand this woman through and through and hopefully come to empathise more with the elderly. This is a beautiful work, written in lovely, flowing prose. Those who enjoy this book should also try Vita Sackville-West's 'All Passion Spent,' which is similar in theme. Two better works about coming to the end of life I've never read.
