Intricately layered and deftly woven together, Twenty-Twenty Vision is a collection of stories concerned with hindsight, honesty and late middle-age regret – the fruits of life lived, love lost and secrets buried.
Told with remarkable empathy and wry humour, these stories form a portrait of a generation of women and men moving into the third age with a mixture of apprehension, longing and regret. In the midst of an historic pandemic, Christine Beckett is faced with some home truths when her best friend, suffering from dementia, decides after a lifetime to be honest with her; Olivia Fletcher has an epiphany about a man who has loved her for decades; Bernard Travers revisits an unlikely romantic interlude with the mother of his childhood friend that has sustained him for 40 years.
Through chastening moments of self-discovery, Mary Morrissy’s inimitable characters revisit their pasts and grapple with late-life perspectives in this beautiful tapestry of late middle-age reckoning.
