Аннотация:
SUMMER OF LIES is a mesmerising collection of stories about love. A conversation between strangers on a long-haul flight will change lives forever; one night in Baden-Baden will threaten to tear a couple apart; a meeting with an ex-lover will give a divorcee a second chance; holiday lovers will struggle in the harsh reality of daily routine... As Schlink's characters navigate their lives, we discover the many faces of love: the small betrayals, hidden truths and abiding affections. In Schlink's trademark spare prose, we come face-to-face with the desires and jealousies that define our daily lives, with the fragility of happiness, and with the abiding possibility of hope. Tender yet unsentimental, achingly personal yet utterly universal, SUMMER OF LIES asks what it means to love, to deceive and ultimately, to be human.
