I absolutely loved The Red Address Book. Doris is an elderly woman who has lived many lives in her 90-plus years. Her great-niece Jenny sees her as the mother she needed when hers could not take care of her properly. Doris fell in love with Allan, who up and left her after a few months with no explanation. Again and again they come back to each other in different countries, married or single, until Allan goes to war and Doris loses track of him. The Red Address Book shifts back and forth between Doris' past and her present, where she is aging and not doing well health-wise. When she falls and hurts herself and then has a heart attack, Jenny flies from America to Sweden to be with the woman who raised her and helped make her who she is. Along the way, she learns about Doris' lost love and all the adventures--good and bad--she had in her lifetime. This book tugged at my heart, made me hopeful, and reminded me why humans value love so much.
