Katherine is astute and kind, and her observations about her family -- and about the struggles of being a single-parent -- give the story satisfying verisimilitude, and made me feel very invested. I was disappointed to realise that the sequel is told in third person. “This place gets me down,” she continued. “I’m never well in Edinburgh; I feel quite different when I get away. It’s so bad for me to have nothing to do. [...] Sometimes I feel I could stand on a chair and scream. I don’t suppose you’ve ever felt like that.” I had felt like that quite often. I had felt like that when a fall of soot came down the chimney and the whole room (including the chair-covers which had just come back from the cleaners) was smeared with a layer of oily soot. I had felt like that when the twins had measles and Den’s temperature soared to 105 degrees, and the woman, who had come to help me, dropped a tray and broke three plates, and the electric cooker went wrong and a patch of damp appeared on the ceiling of my bedroom. It had all happened on the same day and it was just too much… But I had never felt like that because I hadn’t enough to do.

Appartiene alle Serie
Married at 19, Katherine had four years of happiness with her beloved Gerald. When he dies, she is left on her own to bring up a stepson, Simon, and her own little twins. She has known what it is to be loved and cherished, and without Gerald, all she wants is independence, and the freedom to bring up his children as he would have liked. When an unexpected letter arrives for Simon, offering him a very different life, Katherine is concerned that he makes the right choice. She is worn out with worries and difficulties; but a restful holiday in the Scottish Highlands restores her zest for living. And it is only then that she begins to realise that independence is not as important as love. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
