The description I need to be updated to is:
"So, let me tell you a story. Because tonight I am hurting, and I need you to listen. Tonight, I need you to see me again."
The love story is over, and the lover is gone, but the memory is still pulsing with life and unfulfilled desire. The woman, cloaked by the foreboding night in the stillness of time, speaks to her lost lover, begging him to listen to her voice. She narrates their story through the pain and emotional turmoil, seeking to find companionship in the shared experience and a way to move on with her life.
Synopsis: Kristina and Jonathan meet at the university and fall in love. However, soon he has to leave because he cannot get a post-study visa. The lovers maintain the connection, but his parents insist on arranged marriage. Torn between the home he knows and the love that feels too new to last, he succumbs, hurling their relationship into darkness.
This novella alternates between poetic prose and poetry. It tells the story of love, loss and healing inspired by true events from the author’s life. The book is divided into 3 parts:
Beginnings discusses the inception of love and the disintegration of the relationship;
Futures focuses on the rebuilding of oneself in the aftermath of events;
Endings centres on the theme of forgiveness.
The story moves between Europe, India and Abu Dhabi, collecting dismembered parts of the events to illustrate the troubled concept of time in the moment of pain. The text is dense with symbolism when discussing themes of intercultural romance, temptation, loyalty, and the significance of rediscovering your voice. The focus on listening and being heard highlights the transformative act of re-imagining your circumstances in the raw and unglamorous road to mending a broken heart.
The accompanying art was created by the writer herself using an AI art generator.
