Description
An old house painter learns that he probably has an incurable disease. While the doctors try to save his life, the old man, who has never ventured beyond his small town, dreams of going to spend his final days living intensely in a sunny Florida that is transfigured by his feverish desire not to die. And it is this overwhelming desire that brings back the memory of the redheaded young woman who was the great love of his life. "Wild Red Love" is a novel full of colour, passion, and tenderness, about mad love, fiery love, set in Nicolet in the 1920s and taking the reader through landscapes in the American South - a hymn to the beauty of the world.
