Some people we never even know by name, yet we will always remember them. Two strangers meet every morning on the way to work and, without ever speaking, belong together for the length of the train ride. A woman receives two letters in November in which a stranger lets her share his life. An old man on an apple plantation watches a young love begin and is shaken a second time by his own, half a century ago. These stories are about loss and transience, and about the endless riches that even a nameless encounter can hold. They are rarely about couples in the strict sense, and yet every one of them is a story of love.
