"Pothos, the brother of Eros, personifies desire in all its forms: passion, lust, sexual need, as well as an unappeased, insatiable craving. A host of characters, including the narrator, Juliette, Marianne, and others will test the sundry shades of Pothos' character...until a climactic, fateful night seals their fate and twists their souls."French writer, Philippe Morgado, takes the reader on a nostalgic journey of tragic love and friendship in the pages of this timeless romance. The life experience of a tortured actress, seeking acceptance and success, collides with a medical student, struggling to complete his education. Their relationship descends beneath the sublime, where dark characters aim to destroy, and desire is perverted.A harrowing day is pulled from their passionate union, dissected with unique precision, and then slammed together with heart-rending consequences. The intern's nightshift, at the local psychiatric hospital, provides the backdrop for this night of turmoil. In the eerie passageways of the depressing institution, be introduced to an unusual cast of players, some who will scream for your attention.For the narrator, passing years and newfound affections soothe the overwhelming sadness of love gone awry, and tender friendships lost. However, one's soul is always, and forever, tied to fading memories of the past.
