Synopsis "Giovanni's Room (Penguin Great Loves)"

When David meets the sensual Giovanni in a bohemian bar, he is swept into a passionate love affair. But his girlfriend’s return to Paris destroys everything.

United by the theme of love, the writings in the Great Loves series span over two thousand years and vastly different worlds.
