Fiction

Set in a home for the elderly, Harlequin's Millions is full of unforgettable characters who reminisce about their lives and their changing country. The central characters are as playful as they are stubborn and melancholy, forever gazing back into their personal and collective history with transcendent wonder. Written with a touch of the comically absurd and sprinkled with dialogue that captures the poignancy of the everyday, Harlequin's Millions is a sensual delight.
