Whiskey Rose - Book Two (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

In her seventies and widowed twice, Emily Thompson's saving grace lies in the ghostly presence of her soul-mate and father of her twins, Arthur - and with the roses he lovingly tended when he was alive; especially the striking whiskey rose.When he passed away Emily thought her life had ended, until she read a condolences card which suggested Arthur was always with her in spirit. This she discovered to be true, and for a while he not only kept company with her but also restored her vitality....But then she met James.Swept off her feet by him, they soon married and lived happily until a tragic accident took him from her; which though traumatic for Emily, allowed her to resume her connection with Arthur.Throughout all of this her family members, each with their own dramas in life, observe in Emily a grieving widow, a contented bride and then the effect of loss once again. Her serenity; uncharacteristic for one so recently widowed - and not once, but twice - raises a collective family eyebrow. Twins Fiona and Ruth, and granddaughter Kristine, have reservations as to the cause of her contentment; Fiona citing the onset of dementia, Kristine slowly coming to realise that there's more to her Nana's passive demeanour than that.Yet, Emily is still part of the human world, not the ethereal realm of Arthur, even though his ghostly domain is fast becoming a reality to her. In Book Two of Whiskey Rose her family members are faced with some difficult decisions, which will affect their own lives and more especially the future of their much-loved but ageing matriarch.
