About This Book

The narrative opens when the death of an elderly, honored relative leads heirs to discover an exotic leather case containing a small French manuscript and a prefatory note by the deceased. The preface recounts how, during a wartime youth, the narrator mocked women's love and then encountered a mysterious old man who pressed the case and its papers upon him, insisting the enclosed tale be read as proof of how one man loved. The manuscript that follows unfolds that recounted story in minute, reflective episodes, interweaving wartime memory, domestic feeling, and the suggestive power of objects and fate.
