Hope
and Despair by
Roman Payne
|
|
|
|
|
“Charged
with passion, these pages
sing to us their erotic melancholy; ‘Hope
and Despair’ is both
loving and frightening, a
pleasure to read once
and again!” Payne’s
third epic novel narrates
the story of the beautiful
young Nadja, and her brooding
lover Nikolai, as the two
come of age in a springtime
garden. When their world
of earthly delights fades
with the dying season, the
two are exiled from their
pastoral romance into a fiery
world of seedy urban haunts,
intoxicated dreams and electric
lights...
