Peggy Hansen

    Margaret Westhaven píše s jemným porozumením ľudskej povahy a skúma zložitosť vzťahov a hľadanie zmyslu. Jej štýl sa vyznačuje prenikavou introspekciou a poetickosťou, ktorá čitateľov vtiahne do psychologických hĺbok jej postáv. Prostredníctvom svojich diel Westhaven rozvíja témy identity, pamäti a neustáleho boja za nájdenie svojho miesta vo svete. Jej písanie je pozvánkou k zamysleniu sa nad našimi vlastnými životmi a nad tým, čo znamená byť človekom.

      "Allan Marchmont flirts with the young secretary in his publisher's office, not realizing that she is the widow of his dead Flying Corps comrade in the recent Great War. Elaine Westwood, the widow, is annoyed with Allan's flirtations, but soon becomes intrigued. When she meets him at a house party at her family's estate, she is definately attracted, but he is annoyed with her for maintaining employment that could keep another, needier family, fed. Elaine has her reasons for taking a paid job, just as Allan had his reasons for not delivering the news of her late husband's death sooner. They must both learn to heal if life and love are to survive the war."--Page [4] of cover.
