The story of two estranged friends and their late reunion - and a novel about forgiveness and letting go
1973 is going to be their year, Kat swears to her friend Easy on New Year’s Eve – and not just because they’re stoned. In the months that follow, they manage to check off many of the items on their list. Falling in love, for example. Unfortunately, with the same guy: Fripp, who works at the youth center. But it isn’t jealousy but rather a tragic accident that soon puts an abrupt end to their friendship.
Almost 50 years later, Kat, who runs a successful life coaching blog, receives a message from Easy. They meet again in an old house on Crete. Between lavish parties with their Greek neighbors and intoxicating nights on the beach, they take stock of the large chunk of life that lies behind them. But it isn’t until a surprising visitor arrives on the island that they’re able to ask themselves the crucial question: Why do they have such different memories of their time with Fripp?
With unique humor and psychological insight, Susann Pásztor writes about the wonderful and terrible imponderables of life and about the art of facing them.
