A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

No one thinks they'll end up in an old people's home, but Claire Harper finds herself contentedly occupied with daily routines: reading the foreign and business pages in The Times, learning poetry by heart and talking to Iris, one of the young girls looking after her, who is unsure of what to do with her life. Peter Mansley's arrival changes all this. He takes Claire on outings, provides thoughtful treats, and offers a glimpse of romantic happiness that has so far eluded her. But whereas Peter is open, Claire is reserved, haunted by her tragic and empty past. Slowly, she is able to move on and contemplate the present with Peter. But can happiness last forever?

SECOND CHANCES is a moving, bittersweet love story in the most unlikely of settings and a heartwarming exploration of the way we change other people's lives, often without knowing.
