This is a book that you will need the Kleenex so keep it handy .
For the old softies and empaths this is for you and will have you loving life a lil more along the way.
As it's about a woman who has lived a full life and yet it seems life has eluded her in love.
We love, we loss, we move on but for 96 yr Doris her only visitor at this stage of her life is her American Grandniece Jenny.
When Doris was a minor her father gave her an address book with the idea she'd write down those she encountered in her path.
Her journey was lengthy including being a maid in Sweden, a Paris model, and a woman with a secret she's held since WWII about her employer.
The story starts off building the close connections, and writing off those who past, while remembering fondly those she loved or had close connections and friendships with during her time here on Earth.
As she ages she has regrets, she wonders about Alan her lost love, and she longs for closure.
It's a story of growing old gracefully but also about how precious life is and how short in number it may become.
I'm honored to have read this amazing novel by Sofia Lundberg!
