A Handful of Blossoms

Written in form of a diary, which genre was so popular in the 18th century and which sounds so comprehensible in our time of blogging/webjournals, the novella may be called a love story. A story of a young bride and her weird marriage. Time: 1764, a year after the Seven Years War. Europe. “Shared, secret, celebrated, exploded, subtle--as an unrequited longing or mellowing through the years--at long distance, across continents or so close, it is never quite close enough--from the inside out and from the outside in, the likely and the unlikely--hot, unfair, jealous, crazy Love is coming. Get ready—now, it comes to You!” (Lara Biyuts)
