SECRETS FROM THE PAST....
Famed Broadway producer Milo Short may be eighty-eight but that doesnât stop him from going to the office every day. So when he steps out of his Upper West Side brownstone on one exceptionally hot morning, heâs not expecting to see the impossible: a woman from his life sixty years ago, cherry red lips, bright red hat, winking at him on a New York sidewalk, looking just as beautiful as she did back in 1934.
The sight causes him to suffer a stroke. And when he comes to, the renowned lyricist discovers he has lost the ability to communicate. Milo believes he must unravel his complicated history with Vivian Adair in order to win back his words. But he needs helpâin the form of his granddaughter Eleanorâfailed journalist and family misfit. Tapped to write her grandfatherâs definitive biography, Eleanor must dig into Miloâs colorful past to discover the real story behind Miloâs greatest song Love Me, I Guess, and the mysterious woman who inspired an amazing life.
MY THOUGHTS:
A dual time line story with a mystery at its core,Vivian In Redcaptured my interest immediately. Why did the vision of Vivian Adair topple poor Milo, and catapult him into the past via visions he now sees and cannot describe, as he has lost his voice?
Granddaughter Eleanor is aware of the visions, although she does not know the meaning. She may be onto something, however, as a stranger named Alexander has called to ask about Milo, and to suggest a more than passing connection between Milo and Vivian.
I liked how the story unfolded by showing us moments in the past, along with Eleanorâs searches from the present while interviewing Milo as best she can. Through gestures and yes and no questions, she finds out more than any of the others have managed. I felt a connection with Eleanor, the grandchild without parents, the condescension she feels from the aunts, uncles, and cousins. The one they now turn to for this final tribute to Milo: a biography that will come out at the same time as a musical revival from the past.
Miloâs son Paul and daughter Rebekah were annoying in the way they demanded things from Eleanor, so I was happy when she started standing up for herself, making them realize that she will do what she can, but at her own pace.
Her boyfriend Daniel has left her, so moving into her grandfatherâs home feels right. While interviewing Milo and doing her research, she has time to ponder her choices.
From the glimpses into the past that revealed Vivianâs layers, I had mixed feelings about her. She seemed like a manipulative user who somehow captivated Milo, and is now holding him hostage in his silence.
