Fülszöveg

Corinne Ditchburn is a photographer. The story of her hfe— from its beginnings in the northern Canadian wilderness, to London, England, where she worked during WW II as a war correspondent for Lord Beaverbrook—is a brilliant tale of a woman struggling for identity and love in the cataclysm of war.
Now, Corinne is eighty-five. With Tyke, the son she abandoned for her lover and for war, she sorts her photographs to create a retrospective of her work. As a photographer she was chronicler of her time; now, her pictures give her back the story of her past. Each image projects Cory into one of the split-seconds which have strung themselves together as her life, "a lifetime in moments". Do the photographs lie, or reveal the truth?
Together, Cory and Tyke retrace the dramatic and sometimes painful path that has led them to the present. Mother and son reclaim each other, and relive an extraordinary woman's life.
