Über diesen Titel
This warm-hearted tale explores marriage, love, and longing, set against the majestic backdrop of Morecambe Bay, the Lakeland Fells, and the faded splendour of the Midland Hotel.
Ted Marshall meets Rene in the dance halls of Morecambe and they marry during the frail optimism of the 1950s. They adopt the roles expected of man and wife at the time: He the breadwinner at the family ceramics firm, and she the loyal housewife. But as the years go by, they find themselves wishing for more...
After Ted survives a heart attack, both see it as a new beginning...but can a faded love like theirs ever be rekindled?

Kritikerstimmen
“A tender and moving study of a marriage” (Alison Moore, author of the Booker Prize short-listed The Lighthouse)
"People are something else; they open your eyes to things you've not thought of, they really do."
The story of Ted and Rene throughout the decades certainly did that for me, it made me think of the "what ifs" of relationships and the patches that hold couples together, among other things.
Cath Barton's writing shows much empathy for her characters, flaws and all, which I loved. Sometimes, I was wondering about certain characters and their role in this novella, but it all came full circle in the end, and left me with a feeling of comfort. I cannot wait to read/listen to more Cath Barton.
really enjoyed this novella
