Everything We Once Loved

A long-awaited new release from Maria Metlitskaya. Three novellas in one cover. Three stories the reader will live through alongside the heroes. Stories about hope and despair, grief and joy—and of course, love.

That’s how it happens: you see completely unfamiliar people and immediately invent their story. An elderly, impressive gentleman and a not-so-young woman sit at a table in a restaurant’s expensive spa hotel, overlooking the Carpathian Mountains. Seeing this couple makes you want to immediately guess who they are. Married for years? Former lovers?

Marek and Anna meet once a year—she comes from Krakow, he flies in from Israel. They have plenty to tell each other, and most importantly—something to keep silent about. Because once upon a time they really were husband and wife, and lovers.

In books, stories often end at the altar. In life, at the altar, a story only begins. The story of these two is unlike any other. It is the story of hope, despair, and—endless love.
