Synopsis "Blue Skies Have Come Again: Love In The time Of Pandemic (in English)"
In 2021 an apparently healthy but elderly man, Donald Cornish, was suddenly admitted to hospital. Discharged just after the New Year, he was readmitted three days later and never lost the hospital, dying there a few weeks later. This book tells the tale of a sudden and unexpected deep romance between one of his nurses, Beth Jose, and his son, Nick Cornish and they became engaged six days after meeting properly for the first time. The romance was unplanned and arose during a charity event for Ukraine, accelerating from there. Equally unexpected was the fact that twelve of the days were marked by songs usually sung by Beth to Nick which are described in this volume. This volume comprises two parts. Part I, Nick's Story, comprises messages largely exchanged between Nick and his best friend, Heidi, and tells the tale of the romance in almost real time from just before the charity event to their equally sudden engagement. Part II, Beth's Tale, starts with three sections, outlining her early, challenging, life (which, although written as matter of fact, is quite tear-jerking) and then briefly discusses the working life of a nurse during the pandemic before recording the same events as in Nick's Story. The third part comprises her diary entries for the whole event which record the same events but from her perspective and less contemporaneous than the messages in Nick' Story.
