In each tale a couple is kept apart by some line, be it national, historical or as small as a garden hedge or the railings of a holiday villa, or by a recollection that rules out love. Taken in sequence, the pieces build a novel about Rosa and Esso. Rosa often stands to one side, yet beside a dreamer, a stateless man and a powerless one she gains depth, and gradually the burden of her parents' unspoken past emerges.
