The intermittent observations and illusory abstract conversations between two lovers in a seaside cafe lead to the love legend between the British woman Emily L and the caretaker of the villa on the Isle of Wight. "Summer Rain": A novella, Ernesto lives in a poor immigrant family, with weak parents who lack the means to make a living, and six younger brothers and sisters who need to be taken care of...
