As the wife of retired ship's doctor Dr Henry Parker, Evelyn is living out her twilight years aboard the Golden Sunset. Every night she dresses for dinner - gown, tiara, runners - and regales her fellow passengers with stories of a glamorous life travelling the world in luxury as well as showing off her superior knowledge of everything from ships' customs to biographical details of her heroine, Florence Nightingale. The crew treat her with deference. And forbearance. But when Henry goes missing, Evelyn sets off to search every part of the grand ocean liner to find him, casino, nightclub and off-limits areas included. Misadventures are had, new friends are made, scandalous behaviour noted - all news to Evelyn. If only she could remember the events of the night before as clearly as she can recall the first time she met Henry on a passage from England to Australia in 1953 and fell in love, abandoning her dreams to become a midwife to be a wife instead - and the long-ago painful events that left Evelyn all at sea. Why is it so hard to remember some things and so hard to forget others? And where is Henry? The Last Voyage of Mrs Henry Parker is a love letter to the memories we make over the course of a lifetime, and how the heart remembers what matters, even when the mind has long forgotten.… (altro)

A lovely story about Mrs Henry Parker and her life aboard a cruise ship. A wonderful character and plot. The most enjoyable of Nell's four novels that I have read. ( )
  PhillipThomas | Feb 18, 2023 |
This lovely story will pull at your heart strings as the clever Mrs. Henry Parker copes with daily life aboard a cruise ship. Now an elderly woman, she is struggling with a failing memory and her husband is missing.
The multiple timelines alternate between her stories of the past she shares with befriended passengers, and snippets of current day memories that she can't quite make sense of. All the while searching for her beloved Henry.
Part love story, part a reflection of life, the author approaches the subject of dementia with poignancy, respect, and uplifting moments.
A beautifully written and endearing novel. ( )
