upbringings they experience creates an emotional wall between them. sooner or later we'll all be just a pile of bones so before you're as dead as this guy how about taking a few risks you could even take a chance on love. and. the ageing married or of money come out of one's novel and the east meets her bow right here under the brocky a saurus at berlin's natural history museum the man's name is fives and everything about him is gray his eyes his hair his coat fronts because the dinosaur a beautiful and and the narrator falls head over heels for she's a paleontologist from east berlin who worships these humongous fossils he's a west german insect researcher both of them are married both of them are getting on in years love is never easy with const the writing is on the line every night he

sneaks back out to his wife every intimate question he answers with. what does she see in the sky why is she willing to give up her old money for him. i can't even tell if love breaks in or out sometimes it seems to me that it breaks into us like a strange being that has been lurking about us for months even years until we are visited by memories and dreams and we want namely open our ports through which it seeps within seconds and blends with every substance contained within our skin. but now a 90 year old narrator recalls her boundless love for france with passion tenderness and brutality she also recounts her life after world war 2 and under communism but in the end it's all about hunts for hans hans what becomes of the grey man and how does the affair and you have to read i mean my it's pieced yourself to find
