There your heart lies [large print] / Mary Gordon.
In 1937, Marian Rabinowitz (née Taylor) is 19 years old and newly married-in name only-to a Jewish doctor who had been her brother's lover. She has left behind Vassar and her bitter, Catholic Park Avenue family and is on her way to Spain with her husband to tend to the wounded fighting against Franco. Their marriage is a ticket out of Dodge for Marian and a respectable cover for Russell, and Marian in particular is giddy with the possibilities she hopes her courageous new life will allow. Her idealism, however, doesn't last long. Working in hospitals, she quickly comes to face the grim reality of both war and the limitations of her own circumstances.
Marian cut herself off from her wealthy, conservative Irish Catholic family when she volunteered during the Spanish Civil War - an experience she's always kept to herself. Now in her nineties, Marian shares her Rhode Island cottage with her granddaughter Amelia, a goodhearted young woman with only a vague notion of life's purpose. Diagnosed with cancer, Marian finally speaks about those years - the personal and ethical challenges nearly unthinkable to Amelia's millennial generation, and the unexpected gifts of true love and true friendship.--back cover.
