A Stormy Spanish Summer (2011)
“The bareness of her neck against the snowy backdrop of the towelling robe she had pulled on after her shower reminded her of what she had lost and filled her with fresh guilt.
Her mother had always worn, treasured, and guarded her locket. Fliss didn’t have a single visual childhood memory in which she could not see it round her mother’s neck, and now she had lost it through her own carelessness. Somehow in its own way that hurt as deeply and painfully as the loss of her mother herself, and brou...ght back for her the confused and unhappy feelings she had had as a young child, questioning why she did not have a father. That chain and its locket had bound her parents together, and through that bonding it had bound them to her as well. It had been her only material connection that was shared by them both, and now it was gone. That precious link had been broken.
But she still had another link with her father, Fliss reminded herself. She still had the house that he had left her.
Only for now, she reminded herself.MoreLess
