Opis

Clara Mayfield is back - the irrepressible Jamaican heroine of Joseph Olshan's award-winning Clara's Heart. At seventy-five, Clara comes to the emotional rescue of Will Kaplan, a character from Olshan's previous novel Nightswimmer, now a cartographer based in Vermont. Aware that to the outside world 'an elderly black woman and a young white man didn't add up', Clara knows that she and Will are tied into a bond as strong as any blood family's, and Will now needs his old nanny's wit and heart more than ever. Interweaving the narrative threads with spellbinding agility, Olshan shows how it's possible to choose for yourself a family other than the one you were born into, and how past personal failings, with love, may be forged into redemptive new beginnings.
