A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

After just a year of close, loving marriage, Ruth has been widowed. Her beloved husband, Ben, has been killed in a tragic accident and Ruth is left, suddenly and totally bereft.

Unable to share her sorrow and grief with Ben's family, who are dealing with their pain in their own way, Ruth becomes increasingly isolated, burying herself in her cottage in the countryside as the seasons change around her. Only Ben's young brother Jo, is able to reach out beyond his own grief, to offer Ruth the compassion which might reclaim her from her own devastating unhappiness.

The result is a moving, lyrical exploration of love and loss, of grief and mourning, from a masterful writer.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Ben is dead, Ruth is alive, widowed at 21 after only a year of close, loving marriage.
From this simple, everyday tragedy, Susan Hill has fashioned with an extraordinary blend of intensity and delicacy the story of a young woman suddenly and total bereft, isolated in her cottage as the seasons change the face of the countryside. The Various members of Ben`s mourning family react in their different ways but their attitudes towards the realities of life and death exclude Ruth. Only Jo, her dead husband`s 13 year old brother, possesses the calm, unselfish compassion which might help to reclaim her from her own devastating grief.
And so Ruth remembers the past and struggles into the future as the spring returns.
