(7.5) This book drew me in very quickly and I was keen to return to it's pages. I find this author's observations of human interaction and indeed mature marriages/relationships authentic and recognisable. I very much enjoyed the beginning phase of the evolving friendship, however it palled for me. Maybe because I felt that Sarah was making the wrong decision and it could only lead to angst and maybe because Hartley was too good to be true. However I guess it is a sign of the writer's skill when he evokes an emotional response. I found the conclusion a bit melodramatic. Although the opening quote was an accurate portend of what was to come - "When love is not madness, it is not love." ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

"Temporarily in Auckland while her husband is undergoing treatment, Sarah enjoys a walk in the coolness of the Symonds Street Cemetery. As she pauses at the grave of Emily Keeling, murdered in 1886 by a rejected suitor, a stranger named Hartley strikes up a conversation. Before long he arranges to meet Sarah for coffee. So their friendship begins, and soon blossoms into an affair, rich in mutual understanding and sexual excitement. But love may become obsession, which brings with it disquieting demands, even menace"--Publisher information. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
