Author Description

<p>For a man who has loved more through ink than through touch, time itself becomes a test of devotion.</p><p>A writer spends his life haunted by a woman who might never have existed - the heroine he first imagined as a boy and kept alive in every word he wrote. She appears in dreams, in stories, and once, he believes, in flesh. But between letters never sent and novels that outlive their author, the line between imagination and reality begins to dissolve.</p><p>Through decades of waiting - from youth to the quiet ache of old age - he lives many lives within one: the stolen night by the sea, the bride who vanished at dawn, the letter that arrives forty years too late, and the spirit who calls herself "the nun of the night." Each encounter brings him closer to the truth he fears most - that his greatest love may have only ever existed on paper.</p>
