Room on the sea [large print] : three novellas / André Aciman.

Aciman, André, (author).

Summary:

"Three lyrical short fictions circle questions of aging and loss, and explore both passion and amorous ambivalence. "The Gentleman from Peru" tells the story of the life-changing encounter of a group of friends with an enigmatic solitary guest in a hotel on the Amalfi Coast. "Room on the Sea" is a dialogue between a man and a woman who meet on jury duty and embark on a complex relationship. "Mariana" is a modern retelling of a famous seventeenth-century novel about a love affair between a nun and a swashbuckling, unreliable aristocrat."-- Provided by publisher.
