I am so happy to have read this story, rich with love and life and longing. In a very short while I was transported to a time and place I've never been, but now embrace. Though the end was sorrow, that's not what stays with me. What stays with me is the luscious river, the simple beauty and ease of their bodies, and the dreams shared on the back porch with little sausages.
