About the book:
After a difficult divorce, it seems to Ester that her life has lost its meaning. The weekends she doesn’t spend with her son are the most painful for her. On those days, every other Sunday, she goes to an old oak tree that grows by the water. One day, under the oak tree, she will find Ruth, an elderly lady who has the wonderful quality of always focusing only on the good things in life. Fascinated by Ruth’s incredible life story, Ester will eventually become her good friend. The more mutual trust they gain, the more obvious it will be that Ruth is hiding painful secrets. Discovering them, Ester will reach as far as Italy and Lake Como, where she will realize that Ruth’s life story is much different than she could have imagined.
