Presentation Editor: "In a flash Lady Slane felt that the puzzle had just broken out of his memories to recover. She found herself on the terrace of the villa Indian deserted. It rested his arms on the parapet hot, slowly rotating her umbrella. In fact, it was well to conceal her trouble because she had to find themselves away from all this young man beside her. " The day of the death of her husband Henry Holland, Earl Slane, Slane lady decides to finally live his life. She is eighty-eight. Lady Slane surprised when his entourage, retiring in Hampstead. In her new home, all passion abolished by age and the choice of posting, Lady Slane feels free at last to remember and to dream.
Me:
abolished Every passion is a book that got more by his character Lady Slane, 88, widow, and who is going to surprise his children by his decisions. She made a good marriage but she will find means widow regain his freedom and finally his last years of life as she waits. She rebels. Remembers a house she saw in sale many years ago and wants to buy ... not to mention it puts its terms to this new life!
The book is divided into three parts: the first is enough narrative - but fun to read - and comes just after the announcement of the death of this gentleman, with the whole family together feeling "concerned" for their mother. But the tone is set by Lady Slane, and it was then that I loved her character.
The second part is more about life as Lady Slane conducted before and during his marriage. His passion she had put aside ...
The last returns to the present. With indignation of some of his children, but also men who delight in his company.
A little treat to read if you have not read.
