Publisher's Synopsis
The central nucleus of these beautiful stories is the careful discovery of the lies which we live with. A woman comes to understand that what has given her life meaning no longer works, and so she sets off in search of the man with whom she fell in love when she was a student; a man who suffers from an incurable disease organizes a summer holiday with his family; a passenger on a flight hears the vital confession of the man sat next to him, or are they nothing but lies? How can you free yourself from the ties that keep one fastened to an old life when love in later years promises a new life?
