Red Moons and Cornflowers Daniela Biscontin

Like tracks on a record album, the 21 stories here transport the reader into the various moods of men and women making sense of their worlds, sometimes funny, sometimes moving, but always engaging. ?Their various settings - provincial America, London, Venice, Berlin, Paris, and new places of the writers' imaginings - add flavours, colours and rhythms that reflect as well the diversity and variety of the two writers and their approaches. Andrea Perego is a man. Daniela Biscontin is a woman. Obviously, they have different points of view. And this is the key factor of this combined collection. These short stories by each of them are a distinctive reflection on how we carry the weight of our experiences. And, despite appearances, we discover men's and women's hearts beat the same way.
