Viac o knihe

The Forgotten Waltz is a poignant exploration of desire and the swift descent into longing. Set in Terenure, a Dublin suburb, during the winter of 2009, Gina Moynihan reflects on her passionate affair with Seán Vallely, whom she considers 'the love of her life.' As snow blankets the city, she recalls their blissful yet denial-filled afternoons spent in hotel rooms. The stillness of the snowy landscape contrasts with her memories, as she anticipates the arrival of Seán's twelve-year-old daughter, Evie, who complicates her life further. This novel unveils a tapestry of secrets and the intricate dynamics of human relationships, showcasing Enright's keen insight into the nuances of everyday life. With a sharp eye for detail, she captures the emotional turbulence of families, marriage, and the complexities of middle age. The narrative is infused with humor and a deep understanding of love, as it follows a flawed yet unforgettable heroine on her heartfelt journey. Enright's masterful writing shines through, making this work a remarkable blend of intelligence, passion, and distinction.
