About This Novel
The summer of that year was extremely hot. I eloped with Sylvia, who was in an unhappy marriage, and moved from the Manne Valley in Paris to the southern city of Nice, where we lived in an apartment that smelled of mold. We firmly believe that no one will find ourselves here, and we will forget everything and start from scratch in this strange city. Sylvia wears a precious diamond "Southern Cross". We plan to find a buyer, sell the diamonds, and move away. An American Mr. And Mrs. Neil got into our "spider web". Just when the deal was about to be concluded, an accident happened... Seven years later, I came to Nice again and met an old friend from the past on the street. The painful past came to mind.

Sylvia is a worried person. She is panicked about her marriage, family, and destiny. She constantly escapes from various established spaces to get rid of the incurable foreign experience, and she is still constantly pursuing anything she considers valuable.
Does this book make you look hopeless?
Are there any books that are more despairing? How could I get obsessed with this type of book, such as Unworthy of the World, Temple of the Golden Pavilion, The Tenant Downstairs, etc.
John, a photographer, accidentally came to the banks of the Manne River in the suburbs of Paris and met Sylvia, a married woman, and they fell in love. Sylvia stole a valuable diamond from her husband and eloped with John to the southern city of Nice. They tried to sell the diamond and leave their homeland, but unexpectedly met the mysterious Neal couple and fell into their trap without knowing it. They never saw each other again.
Forehead. . To be honest, I don't really like foreign literature. It's not racial discrimination or anything. Foreign literature describes characters in many details, but I prefer those with exciting storylines or biographies. For example, there are strange people in the world, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, geniuses on the left and madmen on the right. I won't comment on this book. People who like it will like it, but those who don't will find it hard to read.
