1941: What if you could write the final chapter of your own love story?
Sixty years ago, in the summer of 1941, Joseph and Evelyn fell in love on the shores on their New England beach homes.
Now, they gather their three grown children to share the staggering news: in one year’s time, they will end their lives on their own terms. She has received a diagnosis and he cannot – will not – live without her.
But as their final days draw closer and their choice becomes more real, will they – can they – go through with their plan?
New England
The locations in the novel are vague but Long Island Sound is mentioned and the surrounding area. This is a holiday spent on the beach, at a beach house and that breezy, seaside world we all dream of. However, life here is no dream. This novel despite it being hailed as a love story is very dark in places and there are some very serious issues described and explored.
