ABOUT THIS BOOK

‘Was it all a dream?
‘It was impossible to say. But the topaz on my hand glowed softly in the darkness. And a whisper from the forest seemed to say, “It isn’t time that’s passing by, my friend. It is you and I…”’
Our memories of the people we loved, rose-coloured and untainted, always have a special place in some corner of our heart. Every time we think back to the moments we lived with them, we still feel phantom echoes of the feelings we felt then—the intensity of those emotions may have reduced, but never their value.
The Days I Loved You is a collection of stories that recount such memories with startling sensory clarity. Let the evocative and sweet prose of the writer on the hill help you rediscover the joys and sorrows of your own lost loves.
