The Pear Tree

Elissa Landi

4.9/5 (30229 ratings)

Description:When Ginevra Sorel, the American poet, dies at the height of her career, those nearest and dearest to her momentarily stop living from incredulity and shock. Although they had known for some time that she had a bad heart, her laughter, vitality and carelessness had made them forget it. Days after the funeral, Mona Wilton, Ginevra's protegee and close friend, begins the depressing task of putting Ginevra's personal effects in order. The poet had not been a tidy person and the task is difficult and heartbreaking. Everything is in as much of a mess as was expected, with the exception of the drawers of the desk, which are in perfect order. It is almost as if Ginevra had known. Further on in the tidying up process, Mona comes across some pillboxes with the prescription label made out to Miss G. Soames, a name which turns out to be a pseudonym Ginevra at times used. Upon investigating this, Mona is faced with the strong premonition of the truth-- not only had the poet known she was going to die, she had been responsible for her own death. She had willed it. Mona, driven by grief and by curiosity, sets herself to unravel the enigma of Ginevra's longing for death. Slowly she pieces together bits of the past--until the whole poignant, beautiful and exciting story is laid bare. Miss Landi is, of course, one of our foremost actresses of the stage and screen; that she is also a writer of distinction and ability is less well known. The Pear Tree, with its high degree of suspense and its truly literary prose, will come as a pleasant surprise to many.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
