Riassunto

'A haunting, beautifully written lament for the isolating power of love.' (Financial Times) Every year Elisabeth Danziger travels to the Danish island of Møn to spend a week at The Tamarisks, a lavish hotel which was once her family's second home. Elisabeth stays in the same room and walks familiar paths. She visits the local museum; she unscrews the panel of an old bath tub to retrieve the crumbling piece of paper on which is written her name and that of Daniel Eberhardt, her beloved cousin. Elisabeth's annual pilgrimage is part of a longstanding family promise to meet again in Møn after their separation during the war. Only she has fulfilled the promise, and she has no reason to suspect this year will be any different from all the others... 'Winningly written in unshowy but graceful prose, full of precise observations and unexpected lines. A compelling book with a surprise ending.' (Observer)

Su questo libro

Recensione:

'This astonishing, faultless novel isn't tied to time or place. Its themes are universal: love, the loss of innocence, and the waiting, always, for tomorrow.' --The Telegraph

'An early 90s gem... A tale of grief with a beautiful structure and wrenching twist... Daunt's list focuses on books with a strong sense of place, and here the evocation of the island of Møn is wonderful.' --The Guardian

'Leaves the reader reeling, from a combination of admiration and outrage and perplexity that one a very fine quality of writing can provoke.' --Financial Times
