The Work
Nina, a young woman passionate about her job in advertising, lives life in the fast lane and travels the world at a breathtaking pace. She bounces from meetings, to appointments, to photoshoots and dinners. At night, when she dreams, she sees a man and child who come to visit her.
During her first work trip to China, she meets her soul mate, a mysterious photographer from Hong Kong. They know without speaking that, somehow, they share a past. This encounter turns Nina’s life upside down as she is introduced to a world of sensuality and love. The story follows Nina for several years until this part of her life end and is punctuated by unexpected events that contrast from the gentle pace and meditative calm.
This passionate love story is marked by various uncertainties that lead the reader to raise major questions about humanity’s values and evolution in the modern day world.
The Author(s)
Karine Andrea discovered the excitement of words at a very early age. The works of Anaïs Nin, notably her diaries and Belle du Seigneur, mesmerize her in their quest for the absolute and complex psychology of the characters. This ignites her interest in both the male and female regard on life. At the age of 13, with her fascination with Asia at its peak, she dives into the world of cinema and literature and draws inspiration from Marguerite Duras’ The Lover, Bertolucci’s Last Emperor, but the work of Shan Sa.
