Only the extraordinary long for an ordinary life.
May was born with a photographic memory, open mind and introvert
heart. Rest of her character is chiselled by war, loss of her mother,
great friends and regretting the desire to know who her father is.
When she meets Harris, a former army officer and witness to various
tragedies, who is brave with emotions, May finds ‘Aphrodite’ generous –
his strength helps her overcome her greatest weakness.
May’s unique (right or wrong) perspective of the world may have
accomplished a change if only it was heard outside café River. But, May
chose a far more humble path in life.
Future events lead May out of the civilisation and into the mountains.
While the mountains granted a great refuge from people, they could not
save her from fate; and fate followed to please and torment.
After a life already lived, May finds her subtotal generally positive, but no more extraordinary than anyone else’s.
