Кратка история на самолета

Written far from home, often on buses, trains and planes, these fifteen stories move between here and there, between before and now, and between the two continents of an emigrant's life. A childhood in Bulgaria comes back, centred on a café built inside an old aeroplane; a woman on a bus offers a stranger's warmth; two brothers love the same girl; a Christmas story turns on a cake; a girl named Marina burns with passion in 'Sinapis alba'; a tropical flower is carried in the hope of life in Bulgaria; an old couple dances to soft jazz at sunset in Cincinnati. Melancholy and longing for an impossible return run through these stories of separation, memory and love.
