Coral Glynn

Resumen del libro

'A beautiful, absorbing story of love missed, love lost, love found...Cameron has taken great pains to artfully reveal the wounding shards of personal history that motivate'or enervate'every character.''The New York Times Book Review

In the spring of 1950, Coral Glynn arrives at an isolated mansion in the English countryside to nurse the elderly Edith Hart, who is dying of cancer. There, Coral meets Hart Houses odd inhabitants: Mrs. Prence, the perpetually disgruntled housekeeper, and Major Clement Hart, her charges war-ravaged son. When a childs game goes violently awry in the nearby woods, a great shadow'love, perhaps'descends upon its residents. Other seemingly random events'a torn dress, a missing ring, a lost letter'propel Coral and Clement precipitously into the mysterious thicket of marriage.

Coral Glynn explores how quickly need and desire can blossom into love, and just as quickly transform into something less categorical. Camerons brilliant novel examines how we live and love with his unique combination of knowing wit and empathy.
