Review: Sting young writer comes to Brooklyn after the war and stayed at a quiet location away from the hustle of the city to one he did not stop to write a book. There’s also live Sophie and Nathan. First Sting sees Sophie, when Nathan and Sophie swear and Nathan leaves, casting tearful Sophie one on the stairs. Sting immediately liked Sophie – a woman who survived a lot during the war, and much older than him.
Against Jews Nathan and Sophie Polish girl was a bit strange. Nathan could disappear for days and nights and did not say where he was Sophie, but each time he came back, Sophie received him with tenderness and love, and could not imagine anyone else beside me but him. Nathan also loved her with all my heart, despite the fact that it is often cursed and insulted her. Sophie forgave him everything.
Sting became good friends with them – so much that he became a member of their family. Now they were inseparable friends, but deep down, Sting loved Sophie, and was not just a friend to her.
And when Nathan was lost for days and nights in his lab, Sophie spoke of her hard life of Sting, who was always ready to listen to her. She told me how hard it was during the war that she had survived a concentration camp, about how she met with Nathan and put before it inhumane choice. Telling all this, she again and again experienced all the feelings that were at that time with her. And all the while Sophie remains true to Nathan. For her, there was only one man – Nathan. All would have continued, if once Nathan threatened to be killed Sophie and Sting, knowing that Sting is in love with Sophie and Sophie loves it and sleeps with him. Then Sting with Sophie leave this hotel. But this is not the end.
