Sent to Italy as a surprise RABCK in honour of my new wings.
Oh my, I just noticed there was a parcel in my mailbox, and as I was not expecting bookrings, I was really surprised to find this book! Dear DottyDi, you asked not to thank you, but I must thank you for this wonderful surprise you made me!
OK, what I must tell is I loved this book. I started reading without remembering much the plot, and just after a few pages, I was already both angry and sad. David Henry, such an unresolved man, with loads of unspoken problems inside, that in the attempt to save tho his wife a troubled life, prefers to deliver her baby girl and pretend she is not anymore on planet earth. It is so touching, if you think that he, in this istant of madness, thought that death would have been better accepted, and maybe forgot.
I can't tell you I felt anger for David, but a lot of pity, yes. Pity for not being able to "accept" himself, but on being so stubborn to claim Norah's acceptation of death, whatever.
Then there's Caroline, so sweet and strongat the same time. And Pheobe, determined to live the life his father would never dream about.
What we should really understand, is that we'll never know what life is bringing, and we are not able to foresee what is best for us and our beloved ones. We just have to try. And fail, sometimes.
