Written as an autobiographical novel, this is the true story of an ordinary man's journey with an extraordinary woman. Starting in the sixties, it charts the evolution of a relationship where happiness constantly gives way to tragedy and tragedy is in turn, diluted by happiness. From the time of their first meeting, it's obvious to Adam and Eve that they view the world very differently, but they know that the deepest of love doesn't lie in perfection.

To be man. To be men.
