When and how does love come and why does it disappear? What spiritual forces hold it and at what moment, having weakened, let it go? Man is not given the ability to know this, but he is able to observe and feel. And then, in the story of a sensitive observer, a simple description of events appears as a psychological analysis of characters and situations. And with naked clarity it becomes clear how love, even the strongest and most devoted, is undermined and killed by indifference, callousness and self-interest. The drama of conflicts, fascinating intrigue, accuracy of psychological characteristics - all this is in the novels of the famous English writer Pamela Hansford Johnson.
