A Few Words About the Book “The Third Spring”
Alexandra, living in isolation and loneliness, counts her years — and surely, they are many. She now finds herself in the “grey zone” of her life… But she is neither as old nor as sick as others believe.
And those “others” are none other than her children — her son and especially her daughter-in-law — who no longer want the grandmother around in their luxurious home, a home Alexandra herself helped them acquire.
So how can they get rid of the “old lady”? Where could they send her?
The nursing home is always a convenient solution!
Unable to resist, Alexandra submits to her fate, resigned to ending her days there — abandoned and forgotten. Yet life, always unpredictable, brings a great reversal. There, in the nursing home, new horizons open up before her… Her roommate, Nora, a painter, finds in Alexandra’s face — or rather, in her body — the ideal model for a new series of paintings. This chance encounter becomes the spark for a new beginning, for unprecedented and hopeful horizons. Never say “never”!
A remarkable novel with an unexpected plot.
An ode to the “third age” of a woman’s life — one that may yet become her… third spring!
