Samenvatting



Rosie and Daniel have moved to Ceylon with their little daughter to start a new life at the dawn of the 1920s, attempting to put the trauma of the First World War behind them. However, even in the lush plantation hills is it hard for them to escape the ties of home and the yearning for fulfilment that threatens their marriage.

Back in England, Rosie's three sisters are dealing with different challenges in their searches for family, purpose and happiness. These are precarious times, and they find themselves using unconventional means to achieve their desires. Around them the world is changing, and when Daniel finds himself in Germany he witnesses events taking a dark and forbidding turn.

By turns humorous and tragic, gripping and touching, So Much Life Left Over follows a cast of unique and captivating characters as they negotiate the extraordinary interwar years both in England and abroad.

    Positieve punten

    • Spannend
    • Grappig
    • mooi geschreven

    Mooi familieverhaal over hoe conventies en tradities mensen in de weg zitten om het leven te hebben dat ze zouden willen. En hoe sommige familieleden daar toch in slagen. Speelt zich af tussen de 2 wereldoorlogen in Engeland en een beetje daarbuiten.
