Three unhappy people meet by chance and become embroiled in one another's lives. Set in the most picturesque portion of Brussels, the story centers on a woman who has been deranged by her grief at events which took place during the Second World War. She has a roommate, a German suffering from an overwhelming case of remorse. When an expatriate American becomes involved with her, it eases her pain for a little while. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
