SYNOPSIS
The less I felt in myself, the more
strongly I was drawn to those places where the whirligig of life spins most
rapidly. So begins an extraordinary day in the life of Mrs C - recently
bereaved and searching for excitement and meaning. Drawn to the bright lights
of a casino, and the passion of a desperate stranger, she discovers a purpose
once again but at what cost? In this vivid and moving tale of a compassionate
woman, and her defining experience, Zweig explores the power of intense love,
overwhelming loneliness and regret that can last for a lifetime.
