It's for myself, for my heart growing old and curling inwards from surprisingly fresh hurt. And I promised her I wouldn't cry, she told me it hurt her to see me cry once a lifetime ago, but I can't not. But tonight, forty-two years after I met her and began to love her, I feel she is here. I know it was only her body wearing down, because dementia had long since taken her essence from the living world. My Review: I read this book tonight because, for far from the first time in my life to date, I learned that I lost an old, old friend: My mother's best friend, my heart-mother, finally let go of her life barely short of her 92nd birthday on January 4. As he passes through the portal made for one (bet Chips'd know the source on that one), he feels.as I hope and pray all who read this will feel on their own long was good, it was good. We see the events of his entire career as a schoolmaster, his brief, brilliant career as a husband, and his long, glorious sunset as a School Institution. Chipping, nearing ninety and still telling his hoary old jokes from sixty years ago to the newbies at Brookfields school, spends his last few days on earth wandering among the many well-furnished rooms in his head. Also don't know whether I should recommend this. My English professor did an excellent job in explaining this novel. Maybe because I got emotionally attached with him as I had been reading this novel for almost six months. His death scene literally made my eyes wet. Except for them, I couldn't enjoy much of the novel. And last few chapters related to war were also good. I liked his sense of humour and thoughts. Although it was boring, I liked the character of Mr.

Because it was little boring for my taste. 'Brookfield will never forget his lovableness.'Before starting, I thought I wouldn't love this novel.
