Carousel: A Metaphor for Life

Carousel - a metaphor for life. The love partners of their youth had died and Bob and Jean came together as they entered their seventh decade. The extended honeymoon in France, which lasted ten months, cemented their marriage, and with its delights, frustrations, and ridiculours experiences, is the heart of this book. They nested in a country cottage (once a home for pigs and chickens). Bob painted, Jean wrote, and they reached for the depths in the other's soul. A wild car chase in Bordeaux, a lost parking lot in Arles, the magic world of four-year old Emily, and the agony of Buchenwald mix with their passions and anxieties. Playfulness and deepening understanding bring insights for this second time around on life's carousel. Bob's lovely drawings enhance the pages. If you travel, know people in their seventies, or are considering remarriage at that age, Carousel is your book. Email ijeanturnbull@cs.com or request a book from: I. Jean Turnbull, P.O.
