Produktinformationen zu „The Hatbox Letters (ePub)“
Beth Powning offers readers an unforgettable story of love, grief and renewal - both past and present - as well as her extraordinary perceptions of the natural world.
At the age of fifty-two, Kate Harding has hit a crossroads: the pain that overwhelmed her when her husband died suddenly from a heart attack the previous year hasn't diminished, and she is at a loss as to how to go on with her life. Living alone in her large Victorian house, its emptiness magnified by memories of better days, Kate can only dream of a time when her grief will abate, at least enough to allow her to hope for change.
When Kate's sister drops off nine antique hatboxes of papers recovered from their grandparents' eighteenth-century home in Connecticut, Kate isn' t sure she is ready to face the remnants of her family's past. She's having enough trouble going through Tom's things. Soon, though, the smell of the hatboxes begins to permeate the air in her home and "awakens a feeling in Kate that she remembers from childhood, composed of odd emotional strands: love, sorrow, pain, contentment." As she slowly sorts through the letters, diaries and photographs, Kate begins to find some solace in the past. But the further she delves into her grandparents' history, the more Kate realizes that her perfect world had its own dark side - an undercurrent of tragedy, personal loss and eternal grief.
Then an old acquaintance moves back to New Brunswick, and Kate begins to edge out of her solitude, surprising herself. But when a new tragedy comes, it forces Kate to begin picking up the pieces of her shattered life.
