English Summary/英文概要： This is a novel about a woman -- who happens to be 75 -- whose life changes in ways she couldn’t have expected when her husband dies. It takes place over the course of just a few months. The first half of the book follows Sarah and Charles and their three children and grandchildren, introducing the relationship between the Sarah and Charles (their meeting, how things -- sex included -- have changed over the years, and the life they’ve settled into), the strained relationships between Sarah and their oldest daughter and Charles and their son, and the ways in which parents and children have become entrenched in patterns both comfortable and restricting. Then Charles goes out for his morning walk in the woods, and Sarah returns that afternoon to find him missing. She follows his trail in the snow and discovers him nearly frozen. They make it to the hospital, but...
The second half of the novel captures Sarah’s grief, the cold solitude of winter, and finally, glowingly, the new life that accompanies the spring thaw. As Sarah is joined in her no-longer-empty house by her granddaughter and other people, she rediscovers -- and reinvents -- herself in unforeseen ways.
