À propos de la quatrième de couverture

For the four days and nights of the trip, Orr and Anna were as husband and wife, shut off from the world. Anna looked back often on this time with such fondness it was almost cruel: the unfilled outline of what might have been. For four days and four nights they drank tea, talked, sat in the shape of each other's bodies on a bench in front of the cottage watching the dusk descend and the mountains fold in on themselves, the colour fading slowly until all was darkness. They woke to the sound of their own breathing. Birds, different birds, sang outside their windows. Once Anna, standing at the window, spotted a deer move across the low slopes of the nearby mountain. It was maybe two hundred yards away, but it turned as though it realised it were being watched, and stared in her direction. Orr was lying in the bed. She opened her mouth to tell him and then stopped, decided to keep it to herself, this moment of grace, this recognition. She turned to look at him. When she looked back toward the mountain, the deer was gone.
