Book description
An unforgettable journey through the experience of time and desire,
where passion and fear and the sheer craving to ask for love and to
show love can forever alter who we are. A man in his late twenties
goes to a large Christmas party in Manhattan where a woman introduces
herself with three words: 'I am Clara.' Over the following seven days,
they meet every evening in the snowy city. Overwhelmed yet cautious,
he treads softly and won't hazard a move. The tension between them
builds, marked by ambivalence, hope, and distrust. Moving both closer
together, then further apart, this amorous dance builds towards a New
Year's Eve charged with magic, the promise of renewal and love.
