In a Manhattan bar in the 1940s, a mature man tells a stranger the end of his last love: an unstable relationship, full of misunderstandings, that seemed doomed to break up until an unscrupulous millionaire intervenes. The contradictions of falling in and out of love are portrayed, in a work that is both an indictment of and a farewell to love.

Recommended for readers of literary fiction and modern classics looking for a bittersweet love story set in 1940s New York.
