Journal Entry 1 by wingFifnawing from Voorburg, Zuid-Holland Netherlands on Monday, April 17, 2017
"Nora Webster is recently widowed. Unmoored by her sudden loss and the needs of her children which she now must raise alone, she faces a future that was never meant to be. But within Nora is a strength - a quiet resolve not to succumb to others' expectations and, through the discovery of music and the gift of friendship, she may just find a way to live again."

Journal Entry 6 by wingHendrickjewing at Amsterdam, Noord-Holland Netherlands on Sunday, July 8, 2018
I have read The Testament of Mary by Colm Tóibín and I found it incredibly sensitively written, so I am looking forward to reading this book. Thanks Fifna! It was a pleasure travelling back with you part of the way!

Journal Entry 7 by wingHendrickjewing at Amsterdam, Noord-Holland Netherlands on Friday, August 24, 2018
I enjoyed reading this book, albeit less than I enjoyed The Testament of Mary.

Also, I didn't get everything. My most burning question is: who is "the other one' Maurice is referring to?
Edit: after Googling this question, it is clear nobody knows for sure and the suggestions vary widely: from Jesus, via Nora herself, to spiritual concepts.

Nora is a brave lady but not the best of mothers.
