Description
(Text)
The elevator shudders and lurches to a sudden stop trapping an unhappy couple and a stranger. Can the subtle flirtation that started between the woman and the stranger continue in the dark? Then she feels his hand on her arm
Eight stories, each a variation on the love-triangle. Whether in an elevator or a concert hall, in Paris or New York, there is a moment when the deadening monotony of a relationship is swept aside, the fog clears and a vision emerges of an alluring peak almost within reach. From then on nothing is the same. Can the Gordian Knot of love, lust, conflict and morality be cut? Each story crackles with passion and intricate feelings.
