゚ヤヘ Synopsis
This novel unfolds in reverse chronology, tracing the passionate, intermittent love affair between poets Thomas Janes and Linda Fallon across three key meetings: in their youth at a poetry conference in the 1960s, in middle age at a literary event in Kenya in the 1970s, and finally in old age in the present day. Each encounter reveals new layers of longing, regret, betrayal, and the enduring power of first love, set against vivid backdrops and personal tragedies.
