I read a lot of mixed reviews on this book before I started it. Some people loved it, others not so much. When my Mom was terminally ill and I was her caretaker, I often fantasized about what I was going to do when it was over. When life was "good" again. I found myself doing the same thing when caring for my terminally ill fiancé. Imagining a bright future helped me deal with the horrors of the present. I'm so glad I was given the opportunity to read this book. I feel like I connected with Fay and I totally understood what she was dealing with.

I read about half of it and set it down for a year before I finished it yesterday. But it was a nice story and am glad I finally finished it. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. Fay and Paul have had an intriguing marriage, with both physical and intellectual compatibility. A trip to Spain, that initially delights, brings fear and a sense of foreboding when Fay realizes the very astute, Paul , a Judge, a man of the world, is slipping away into the beginnings of dementia. Her life begins to exist in both its realistic challenges and in her own daydream fantasies of a parallel life. There were very sincere moments here, believable relationships, and a plot that held interest.
Very well written! I liked this book. It kept me interested. I'm glad I read this book.
"It started as a dream vacation in Spain, with Fay and Paul Agarra enjoying all the delights of a European holiday. A respected New York City judge, Paul has always been the man Fay can rely on no matter what. When he inexplicably disappears from a Granada street corner, Fay knows something is terribly wrong. Once they are reunited, Paul shrugs off the episode as a simple misunderstanding -- but Fay suspects her almost perfect life has taken a dark and sudden turn. Soon there are more signs that Paul is beginning to change. Bouts of forgetfulness lead to mistakes in the courtroom. Simple tasks cause unexplainable outbursts of anger. Fay's worst suspicions are realized when she learns her husband -- her rock, her love, her everything -- is succumbing to the ravages of dementia. As her husband transforms before her very eyes, Fay copes with her fears by retreating into a fantasy life filled with promise instead of pain. In Fay's invented world, she imagines herself living a glamorous life free from heartache, with a handsome neighbor she barely knows rescuing her from a fate she can't accept." -- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
