Through memories and a heartfelt conversation with her friend Anna, Maria retraces her life's journey. A portrait of a woman learning to live with what remains-and what has gone. "She finally understood that through those words, through the long tale of past loves and so many other things, through every action and conversation of those months, the woman was returning her friendship-offering it as a generous and immense gift. She had chosen to give herself, and her life. What she felt and knew, her memories and emotions, her gentleness and fear, the pain she had endured, her intimate intuition of happiness-she revealed it all in every gesture. Without reservation, she entrusted it to her as a legacy, so she might do with it what she wished, so she might understand, so she might draw something good from it, if she so desired."
