The Trial of True Love (Electronic book text)

Fast-paced, beautifully crafted, and intellectually stimulating, "The Trial of True Love "is a captivating exploration of the nature of love, its elusiveness, and most of all, the universal human need to find it.
Bron is a thirty-year-old writer living in London, a seemingly incurable heartbreaker and dodger of commitment. He is fascinated by the symbolist artist Paul Marotte and has made the artist the center of a book he is writing about love at first sight. On a visit to a friend's country house, Bron encounters the beautiful, enigmatic Flora and suddenly the theme of his book takes on a completely new, intensely personal dimension.
His pursuit of Flora takes him to Amsterdam, where a mysterious art collector offers to help him find the object of his desire, and the search for "true love" takes surprising twists.
With the touch of a master, William Nicholson weaves thought-provoking reflections on art, literature, and human nature in a suspense-filled love story-a novel that touches both the heart and the mind.
