Description
Dorelia MacCraith's life is marked by change and loss. After a long marriage, she moves into a house with a tower, seeking solitude to rewrite the stories of old women who have been poorly represented in literature. There, she forms a deep connection with Elizabeth Bunting, an elderly artist, through their shared past at art school. Their friendship is sustained by secrets from a six-month period when they painted together in France, and it binds them together as they navigate the complexities of loneliness, grief, and old age. This novel weaves twelve connected stories into a rich tapestry, exploring how the past continues to exert a powerful pull on our lives, while our hopes for the future are often tied to escape or retreat. As Dorelia and Elizabeth's story unfolds, young and old characters inhabit separate yet overlapping worlds, revealing the ways in which our experiences shape us, even as we struggle to imagine what it was like to be younger.
