Widower's HouseDuckworth, 2001 - 205 páginas "In this book John Bayley completes his trilogy, looking back on the happiness of the years in sickness and health which he and Iris spent together, and attempting to come to terms with her absence. He gives a searching analysis of the condition of bereavement, and the void that has to be faced when the loved one is no longer there to be looked after. As time goes by he finds himself beset with new and alarmingly unfamiliar problems: he suffers equally from the helplessness of being alone and the kindly harassment of well-wishers; discovering too that a widower's life can contain many moments of bizarre comedy."--BOOK JACKET. |
