Like Fine Wine: Nine Real, Rare Love Stories
Syeda Bilgrami Imam
Is it given or taken – or both? Does love double or halve the lives it touches and enfolds? Is it luck or gruelling hard work ... or the two together? Does it move the heart, the mind, as much as the body, the soul? How does it face life, cope, smile despite its knocks, its hurts? Is it a secret? Does it elude most? Can it be sought and found? Will it happen to you, has it ... will it not? Within these pages some clues, some answers you may find. From those few ‘chosen’ ones who choose to tell.
