![]() And I recall thinking, “Whoa, that’s so old. I remember when I was in junior high, my mother turned 30. In writing down the stories of her colorful past-working as a maid in Sweden, modelling in Paris during the 30s, fleeing to Manhattan at the dawn of the Second World War-can she help her grand-niece Jenny, haunted by a difficult childhood, unlock the secrets of their family and finally look to the future? And whatever became of Allan, the love of Doris’s life? Looking through the little book now, 96-year-old Doris sees the many crossed-out names of people long gone and is struck by the urge to put pen to paper. ![]() ![]() When Doris was a girl, she was given an address book by her father, and ever since she has carefully documented everyone she met and loved throughout the years. This list of novels with older main characters is sponsored by The Red Address Book by Sofia Lundberg. ![]()
