Produktbeschreibung
Sixty-two-year-old Marguerite has just had her second breast cancer diagnosis following a routine mammogram-and this time she will have to undergo a full mastectomy. Scared and discouraged, she keeps the news to herself so she doesn't spoil an important family event. While she struggles to come to terms with her diagnosis, she finds strength and hope in looking back on the happy, romantic yet sometimes difficult times that brought her and her husband Rodrigo together. This compelling story takes us from the scenic Portugal of Marguerite and Rodrigo's childhood to vibrant Montreal, where they move later in life. Looking for Daisy is a moving saga that explores long-lost love, the unbreakable bond of family and the fighting spirit of a woman who refuses to let cancer define or destroy her.
Autorenporträt
Maria de Andrade est née à Lisbonne, Portugal. Elle, son mari et leur jeune fils sont arrivés à Montréal, Canada, en 1979. Trente-cinq ans plus tard, le couple déménage à Laval, au nord de Montréal, pour se rapprocher de leur famille. L'auteure a déjà publié six livres en anglais, sa troisième langue : Memories of Lili, A Beagle's Life (2014), The Little Sect (2015), Cycles (2016), A Patch of Black Ice (2017), Looking for Daisy (2018) et While on a Cruise (2019). Son chien Miko (de Memories of Lili) est décédé en 2022 juste avant son quinzième anniversaire. Maria, qui se préparait déjà à écrire La femme qui ne pouvait pas parler, l'a réincarné en Bobi, un personnage canin dans ce nouveau romain publié après.
