Heart wrenching and sad, yet very beautiful story of life long, deep love. The story is told from both the perspectives of Josef and Lenka, who are forcefully separated by war after only a few days of marriage. Their stories unreel slowly, going from one to the other in sequence. They relate all the experiences they have had during the war. Both believe the other has been killed, and subsequently remarry and raise families of their own. However, they never stop longing for their first love. It is a story of love triumphing over every circumstance. Loved it! D.
