On the shores of Lake Como a man and woman talk about longing and belonging; a translator finds himself drawn into the personal and political turmoil of the poet he translates; a woman's quiet world is eroded by World War II and the division of her country.
Charting the geographies of leave-taking and homecoming, the consolations and rivalries of friendship, adolescent yearnings and maturity s tentative acceptance of longing, these exquisite stories engage with the grand narratives of our time.
