Bootshaven, far north of Germany. The smell of apples is intense and pungent, enveloped the old house and garden. Just the aroma and Iris, librarian of Freiburg, suddenly back girl. Years have passed, but everything has remained as it was then: the house wrapped by the dense foliage, white currant, the carpets of forget-me-not buried by weeds. An almost enchanted garden, dominated by the old apple tree, under whose branches of the family Lünschen women have found love, friendship, but also death. How Rosmarie, the beloved cousin of Iris, who died just fifteen years. A mysterious end, nobody has been able to give an explanation. But now it is time to take care of the house. To do this he must learn to truly know the women of his family and the secrets they keep. As Inga, came into the world while the apple tree was struck by lightning, sending an electric shock every time he touches someone, or Harriet, convinced that they know of marzipan apple cores; or Mira's friend Rosmarie games, now has taken in every way the appearance of her cousin. Room after room, the questions are chasing one after the other: what had really the grandfather of Iris before going to war? What did it mean to Rosmarie Iris away that night, before climbing on the roof of the conservatory? What relationship existed between Mira and Rosmarie? There is only one way to forget. And it is remembered.
Title: Chopin's lover
Author: Rosalind Brackenbury
Publisher: Piemme
pages: 263
Plot:
Mary Jameson, a university professor, is married and has two children and a lover younger than herself, to whom she has an intense passion. Between sadness and fear that the love for her husband is over, the complicated and demanding double life he leads and uncertainty to be alone, Mary is guidance and support in reading the novels of George Sand, the famous author of the nineteenth century on which he is writing a book. The study of texts and the autobiography of the French writer, and especially the discovery of its numerous and intense romantic relationships, drag Mary in a female universe, nonconformist revolutionary. And it is especially in the troubled relationship with George Sand, Frederic Chopin that Mary is the answer to the questions that haunt on love, loyalty, men, art and life. Until the end of his book, when Mary was reconciled with itself, rediscovering the beauty of simplicity and love everyday. Set in Edinburgh, Palma de Mallorca and France, through the delicate interplay of voices of Mary and George Sand, "The lover of Chopin" describes the journey of two women who, though distant in time, share the feeling of passion and search of perfect love. Two stories of loss and rediscovery of self, as an elegant game of mirrors reflecting one another.
