Reflections on Love Miguel Angel Sanjoaquin

The author narrates the captivating cross-cultural journey one woman dares to take in search of love. Jaded and cynical after working her way to the top of the corporate ladder in a big international organization, Gipani yearns for the all-consuming love she felt in her youth. Now on a diplomatic mission to the heart of Cambodia, she finds herself opening up to the possibility of experiencing love again. On a personal cruise along the Mekong river, she meets Louis, a mysterious writer. With him, she learns about love stories from survivors of the Khmer Rouge regime -stories that will impact their own. Against a backdrop of magical realism, Reflections on Love explores the poetic and philosophical nature of love through various perspectives across cultures and generations.
