Twenty Four Hours in the Life of a Woman — Stefan Zweig

The less I felt in myself the more strongly I was drawn to those places where the whirligig of life spins most rapidly So begins an extraordinary day in the life of Mrs C recently bereaved and searching for excitement and meaning Drawn to the bright lights of a casino and the passion of a desperate stranger she discovers a purpose once again but at what cost In this vivid and moving tale of a compassionate woman and her defining experience Zweig explores the power of intense love overwhelming loneliness and regret that can last for a lifetime
