Celia fue una niña feliz, una joven solicitada, una esposa amante y entregada. Su vida era, ella misma lo reconocería más tarde, vulgar; pero marcada por una timidez congénita que la llevaría a hacer de su madre la única referencia psicológica; y esa dependencia sólo la podrían romper los propios sinsabores de la historia de Celia... It is indicated by Christie's daughter, Rosalind Hicks that "It (Unfinished Portrait) also relied a lot on her (Agatha Christie) own experiences and early life." For more details, see the link at the bottom of this review. There are moments when it seems absolutely impossible that the Mary Westmacott novels were written during the time period of 1930 - 1956. I can't imagine the joy for those that had the opportunity on their life journey to interact with Agatha Christie. She is so insightful and through her characters conveys an amazing clarity of relationships (e.g. husband/wife, father/daughter, mother/daughter, nurse/child, grandmother/granddaughter). But there is also a sadness to the main character of Celia and perhaps it is best explained by quotes by Agatha Christie during her lifetime. • “Everybody said, "Follow your heart". I did, it got broken” • “But surely for everything you love you have to pay some price.” I am looking forward to reading the next romance titled, "Absent in the Spring." Don't miss reading more about the novels by Christie's daughter, Rosalind Hicks... https://www.agathachristie.com/about-christie/family-memories/the-mary-westmacot... ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Bereft of the three people she has held most dear - her mother, her husband and her daughter - Celia is on the verge of suicide. Then one night on an exotic island she meets Larraby, a successful portrait painter, and through a long night of talk reveals how she is afraid to commit herself to a second chance of happiness with another person, yet is not brave enough to face life alone. Can Larraby help Celia come to terms with the past or will they part, her outcome still uncertain? No library descriptions found. |
