ONE WOMAN AND ONE MAN
AND A LOVE SO RELENTLESS
THAT IT CHANGED THEIR LIVES
FOREVER
THE BLEEDING HEART is the story of Dolores and
Victor - adults, successful in their careers, both
parents and both Americans, living in England
without their families. They meet in a
compartment of a London-Oxford train, fall
instantly in love and totally immerse themselves
in a relationship that must end in one short year.
She is witty, intelligent, beautiful, independent and
a feminist - 'the original bleeding heart'. He is
confident, bright, successful and believes you do
your best - and no more. Both have known the pain
and guilt of failure, how to live in a present
haunted by the ghosts of other times, other places.
And together they explore the passion of loving
and living with a ferocious intensity that will
mark them for the rest of their lives.
