Writing to Gisella and Other Stories – Ian Gouge
Writing to Gisella
In many ways it was the perfect summer break: taken on impulse, and filled with the beauty of Tuscany. For Rick it was also filled with love; the kind of love that changes a young man’s life forever. Then, without any explanation, Rick’s dream dies and there is nothing but vacuum.
For years.
Until her letter arrives unexpectedly, finding him a different person. Rick’s choice is binary. Does he – after all this time and the pain of a broken heart – simply ignore her letter? Or does he respond? Does he risk opening old wounds in the search for answers to those post-Tuscany questions which once ravaged him?
