This book (and author) I was literally conquered . Attracted by its cover depicting a picture of Hopper, on which the author has embroidered a story, I just saw on the shelf and took a quick look. Louise Besson imagine, the woman with the red dress, and men who are part of his life, creating a dense web of feelings, fears, weaknesses, affections, tenderness, injustice and suffering. The feelings that prevail in so love stories, but also in friendship and deep respect. Described as sighs interspersed (thoughts united to each other), let in emotion, desire, passion and sometimes based devastation. Louise is in love with a woman, who suffered a lot and suffer very much. Some thoughts seem poignant, piercing, if you have experienced something similar to the story, if you loved in his life a man or a woman you do not want, or you leave, or do not choose you, ever. Tearful and painful for me at some points, it leaves a bit 'of bitterness, but the descriptions of expectation, hope, love and ingenuity that are crossed by a wire (too weak) reason, they are painted with purity. On the other hand, a deep friendship, that of Ben, the bartender. Perhaps a man in love, but first of all a friend of Louise. Who knows, the searches, celebrates in its joys. And Stephen, the former Louise, a night walk through the door of the bar, after long years of silence and absence, rather than Norman, who will cross the door that maybe more. A return? A flame that again? Or maybe just a hope for happy unexpected end? A good book anyway, despite the pain and separation, a deep and cleverly written so elegant. A painting whose beauty speaks for itself, which is renewed in the subjective perception of the author, leaving the color still live though moving through his eyes and heart and who can steal. Remarkable.
