The Love She Left Behind - Amanda Coe

. .

Résumé :
Patrick is a celebrated playwright with the eyes of England on him when he marries his beautiful and devoted muse, Sara, who abandons her children in order to be with him. Thirty-five years later, after Sara's death, her grown children, Louise and Nigel, show up at Patrick's crumbling house in Cornwall with memories, questions, and agendas of their own. As versions of the past collide with realities of the present, Sara's heirs do battle over ownership of their much-beloved mother. But the closer they get to the true story of Sara's great love affair, the greater its mystery. Secrets and lies, scenes and letters: how do any of us piece together the people who made us what we are? The Love She Left Behind is the story of an unforgettably dysfunctional family, from a writer who wields a great comic rhythm (The New Yorker).
