I'm awfully sorry, darling, I don't know how to address you. You seem young and beautiful. Can I have your name, please?
Another book by D. Steel I've read in translation: "Silent Honour" It's about a Japaneeze girl who came to the USA to study and met a men she fell in love with. He loved her too. By the way, the man was American. They were very happy until the Second World war began and he was conscribed. The girl gave birth to a baby. She suffered much. Then as usual a happy end. The plot seems obvious, but while reading I couldn't help sympathizing with the characters. I haven't been to the shop where books in English are sold as there are some in my home library I haven't read yet. I'm going to read at least two while having a rest in Greece. After we come back home, I'll buy some new ones by D. Steel and we'll have another small talk. Agreed?
