This series is a whimsical romp inspired by cliché romance in movies of the 20th century. It tells the story of a girl who has many beaux, marries into the diplomatic service... and her life is good. But one day, she meets someone, it becomes a torrid romance, pursued in the tropics with this shadowy man she cannot shake.
"Thunder. A monsoon rages, rivulets swelling into a torrent. Oblivious, drenched lovers cling, in their veins a long-dammed passion. A new dawn: the camera returns to an early opalescent sky. It is Paris in the thirties, she is sixteen, the first large drops spatter the avenue. Married now, she turns to her dinner partner. Music swells, an unquenchable thirst. She turns, brushes her glass. it crashes and breaks. No one notices. We do. Thunder. A monsoon rages." − Eve
