Beschreibung
In his narrative "December Love," Robert Hichens tells the story of Alick Craven, a guy who works for the Foreign Office and lives in London with a group of interesting people. He meets Frances Braybrooke one day, a well-connected woman, and they start chatting about friends. Frances recalls a stunning but enigmatic lady by the name of December. She intrigues Alick, who finally runs into her at a party. He and her get along well and fall in love. Alick discovers that December has a tragic background and discovers that she is reluctant to commit to a relationship. Despite the challenges, Alick persists in courting December and finally succeeds. Their joy is short-lived, however, as December sadly passes away as a result of her history. Alick laments her passing and muses on how short life and love are as the narrative comes to a close.
