Stone angel -the-

Klappentext With her life nearly behind her, the witty, irascible, and fiercely proud Hagar Shipley escapes from her nursing home and sets out in search of a way to reconcile herself to her tumultuous past. Through her reflections, we come to know the rebellious young bride in a remote prairie town, her love for her two sons, the freedom she claimed, and the joys she denied herself. In this bold, final step toward freedom and independence, Hagar gains a deeper understanding of the meaning of acceptance. Her thoughts evoke not only the rich pattern of her past experience but also the meaning of what it is to grow old and to come to terms with mortality. Zusammenfassung Hagar Shipley! age 90! tells the story of her life! and in so doing tries to come to terms with how the very qualities which sustained her have deprived her of joy. Mingling past and present! she maintains pride in the face of senility! while recalling the life she led as a rebellious young bride! and later as a grieving mother.
