Query: A beautiful story of love in the ruins.

This is a beautifully written book. It's tone is often hypnotic, especially in the many passsages where the lovers are each learning about themselves through their actions in the affair. Each seems to recognize that he/she is coming to life and becoming themselves through their relationship. I loved the scene in the hospital cafeteria when she wants to be as intimate as with a stranger: he tells her to pretend that they are traveling on the Trans-Siberian Express. She begins to bare her soul and all the while, behind her, a stranger whom the police are looking for listens and menaces them with a knife. The mixture of menace in everyday contemporay life and redemption through love spoke to me as few novels have.
