After a bit of a slow start, I was totally absorbed in Doris’ story. Doris is in her nineties, reflecting back on her life. Writing notes for Jenny, her niece, each chapter details the loves and losses in a life lived in Stockholm, Paris, and more. Doris has one true love that will stay with her all her life, and Jenny tries to find out more about him. I cannot explain the emotions experienced while reading this well crafted novel. Recommended.
