THE FALLING MOMENT
Book ID/图书代码: 12691015B77199
English Summary/英文概要: During one tumultuous Spring, three generations of women from the same family find themselves living together while on the cusp of change: adolescence, morality, mortality.
Jo has a thrilling secret. She’s forty, a divorced mother of three, an average woman doing her best to look after her children and a prickly mother-in-law from her first marriage. But she’s also having a passionate affair with her next-door neighbour.
Honor is alone. Fiercely independent, she has never in her eighty years relied on anyone for anything. But something else is wrong with her, something that might take away her independence forever, and so she won’t tell anyone.
Lydia is sixteen and in love, and first love should be wonderful. Except that the person she’s in love with is her best girlfriend, who is straight.
The Falling Moment is a story about knowing yourself as a woman at every stage of life, about the importance of familial connections, and loving someone you know you will lose.
