      The Bridge and Other Love Stories

      THE BRIDGE and Other Love Stories

      Love can always find a way, people say. But the road to love is often difficult. People say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, can’t find the right words, make mistakes, misunderstand each other …

      In the first story Luke and Gemma talk about a plan for love. But who makes the plan? And who is the plan for? What kind of plan? You can make a plan for a holiday or a train journey or a piece of work, but can you really make a plan for love?

      In the second story Sam plans a big surprise at the Sunflower Café for his girlfriend Lucy. Sam makes wonderful cakes, and the surprise is a nice idea. But what does Lucy think about it?

      In the last story Alma returns to her home town after six years away. It is a sad time for her, because she cannot forget the story of Nina and Dragan. Nina was Alma’s sister, and Nina was in love with a young man called Dragan …

      AUTHOR’S NOTE

      The story The Bridge was inspired by the report of the deaths of Bosko Brckic and Admira Ismic in Sarajevo in 1993. Some people called them the Romeo and Juliet of Sarajevo. But this is not their story. My story The Bridge takes the same idea of young lovers in a city at war, and makes a new story – of sadness and death, but of love and hope too.
