The Conversation

An older man and a young woman meet quite by accident -- a freak gust of wind -- at a restaurant in the great Piazza Unita in Trieste and find themselves dining together. He is an Australian engineer living in Paris, in Italy for a round of meetings; she is a translator, normally resident in Turin.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A young woman and an older man meet by accident—a gust of wind—at a restaurant in Trieste and find themselves dining together. They embark upon a conversation of the kind that can perhaps only happen between total strangers—risky, philosophical, full of the most intimate stories and confessions.

She has questions. He finds, as the wine flows, delicious dishes come and go, and the velvet night deepens, that he doesn't have as many answers as he might have thought he had.

The Conversation is a remarkable exploration of human connection, beautifully capturing the complexity and spontaneity of such encounters.
