ABOUT THE
BOOK
|
|
Remembering Blue is a love story which recounts the love of Mattie and Nick, narrated by the recently widowed Mattie. Mattie and Nick have lived on the island of Lethe, where she meets his large and loving family, a family which slowly helps her emerge from the shadows of her own past into the light of new possibilities. The distant inward-looking Mattie, whose solitary life seems to hold little hope for the future, is barely recognisable by the story's end. For her the process of telling her story, of writing this memoir of love and marriage, becomes a way to use memory as a salve and a tool to dig through her grief to a place where she'll live fully again. |
