Two Questions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9782839928731)

Alice, a young woman from Sweden, flees the materialistic Western world to discover "herself" and the "meaning of life". She embarks on an open-ended voyage to Latin America. She meets a man in Buenos Aires who asks her to deliver a gift to his friend Rupert in Santiago de Chile. Rupert invites Alice to stay in his house, where the two spend a tumultuous week together. Rupert has to leave on a business trip. While away, he admits having fallen in love with Alice. He decides to ask her to stay. Upon his return there is a note waiting for him: 'I'm gone. Don't look for me.' Rupert is devastated.

Three years later Rupert is sitting on a terrace in Colombo, Sri Lanka, where he has now been posted. The waiter brings him a note from a woman: 'Are you Rupert?' It is from Alice, who now lives in New Delhi and is on vacation in Sri Lanka. Rupert invites her to his house in Kandy, where they rediscover and confirm soul-binding feelings for each other. This time Alice stays.

'Two Questions' is a spellbinding tale of passion, breathtakingly narrated in seamless storytelling and delivered with a funny, sensual and endearing touch.
