Undying : A Love Story by Michel Faber EN
Country: Europe / Netherlands
Netherlands
Description:

All I can do, in what remains of my brief time, is mention, to whoever cares to listen, that a woman once existed, who was kind and beautiful and brave, and I will not forget how the world was altered, beyond recognition, when we met.
