Nellie Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I was recommended this book when I had my book spa, and I was a little dubious, but it is amazing! It's a short book and easy to read, so great if you are a bit tired. The story however is very thought provoking. It is about a middle aged man who meets and old woman in hospital. They have a connection, but he thinks he will never see her again once he is discharged. Throughout the book they keep meeting, and each time she has undergone a transformation which makes her younger. Although there is clearly an "urban fairytale" type theme here, it does explore other themes such as getting old, unhappy relationships and lonliness. It has something of the atmosphere of "Lost In Translation" to it. I can highly recommend it, and would give it a surprising 9/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
