“There is no tragedy to suffering. It is, just as happiness is. To be present for both, that is life, I think. And it is a beautiful evening.”
Anna was a professional dancer living in Paris. When she meets the man of her dreams, Matthias, they move to the United States for a job offer he receives. Anna becomes isolated and withdrawn in her new country when her husband becomes engrossed in work and is unable to be home much. Taking control over what she can - food - Anna starts to wither away. Matthias loves his wife but is he also enabling her by not forcing her to get the help she needs? When Anna finally does receive treatment, is it too late?
Poetic, powerful, heartbreaking, and inspirational all at once.
A very quick read but one that will definitely stay with me.
