All unsere Jahre

Harry Miles and Evelyn Hill meet one afternoon at the beginning of World War II in a London library, just before Harry is drafted. He, a sensitive lover of literature and nature, is fascinated by this strong-willed and opinionated woman, and he will remain so throughout their 70-year marriage. However, the attempt to make another person happy is an endeavor for which a whole lifetime is not enough, especially when one is busy raising three somewhat unruly daughters, dealing with demanding parents, and not least, facing the challenges of aging. With a tender yet unrelenting gaze, Kathy Page describes the interplay of closeness and distance between Evelyn and Harry—throughout their entire love life.
