From the Back Cover
These two novellas are characterized by clarity of style and dramatic presentation of affairs of the heart. First Love examines the consequences of two tourists befriending German prisoners of war in France, and explores the tension between primal human kindness and social conventions. Look for My Obituary explores a surrealistic, haunting love affair set in a world of arranged marriages.
