The book presents the memories and impressions of Queen Elisabeth of Romania, who recounts significant moments and influential figures throughout her life. It delves into themes of nostalgia, loss, and personal development, intertwining the author's experiences with those of notable personalities she admired. The opening of the book sets a reflective and poignant tone as the author muses on the nature of memory and how it shapes one’s identity. In the introduction, she articulates the idea that as one ages, memories of loved ones who have passed often overshadow present relationships. Through her recollections, she aims to keep the essence of those she has lost alive by sharing their stories and the impact they had on her life. The first chapter centers on her childhood experience attending a concert by Clara Schumann, illustrating her deep admiration for the pianist and conveying her own sense of heartbreak and hope in the face of familial struggles. This combination of rich personal narrative and historical context invites readers to reflect on their own memories and connections.
