a 96 year old woman in Sweden tells her life story and the story of people who had an impact in her life to her great-niece in California, first via skype and in writing, later in person when her great-niece comes to the hospital while she is dying. She worked as a live mannequin/model in Paris before WWII and met the love of her life there. They never reconnected but through an internet search her great-niece had them skype together moments before they both died. They never stopped thinking about each other. This idea of true love, never ending love is a theme throughout the book but for me fell just a little short and we don't see enough of the great-niece's life. Good book, but a little slow in parts. Lots of detail of her early life and years in Paris, but then everything goes really fast and many years are glossed over. As if the author just wanted to be done writing. Seemed uneven and with a rushed ending.
