A Few Words About the Book “The Third Spring”

​​

Alexandra, living in isolation and loneliness, counts her years — and surely, they are many. She now finds herself in the “grey zone” of her life… But she is neither as old nor as sick as others believe.

​

And those “others” are none other than her children — her son and especially her daughter-in-law — who no longer want the grandmother around in their luxurious home, a home Alexandra herself helped them acquire.

​

So how can they get rid of the “old lady”? Where could they send her?

The nursing home is always a convenient solution!

​

Unable to resist, Alexandra submits to her fate, resigned to ending her days there — abandoned and forgotten. Yet life, always unpredictable, brings a great reversal. There, in the nursing home, new horizons open up before her… Her roommate, Nora, a painter, finds in Alexandra’s face — or rather, in her body — the ideal model for a new series of paintings. This chance encounter becomes the spark for a new beginning, for unprecedented and hopeful horizons. Never say “never”!

​

A remarkable novel with an unexpected plot.

An ode to the “third age” of a woman’s life — one that may yet become her… third spring!
