This collection of nine short stories explores scenes from a long marriage - the highs and lows of loving, working, living to the fullest, the memories of youth, the turbulence of crises, the promises kept, and dreams sometimes unfulfilled. Set in diverse locales from Saratoga Springs to Toronto, New York to London, and Calabria to Mont St. Michel, Carousel invites the reader to come aboard for a ride through the richness of memory. In this, her fourth work of fiction, author Carla Maria Verdino-SUllwold creates warm, often ironic, always poignant portraits of Baby Boomers in their journeys from youth to increasing age. As if on a carousel, the characters spin through time discovering that life may not be linear after all.
