Green Water Gray Skies

Publisher: Julianne Ingles
Summary
Set by the green waters of the Vltava River in Prague, artist Anna adopts the role of an English teacher in an attempt to put a failed affair behind her. But rich memories of Mexico - Antonio, art, oranges and beer - resist oppression and exacerbate her loss. The Vltava River binds the narratives together as they twist around each other and reveal the fragility of relationships. Yet recovery is slow when people don’t make sense. Worn bare, love is reduced and the transactional nature of relationships is ultimately revealed.
