Excitement, euphoria, then longing, hoping, and worrying: When the heart is ignited for another person, we are initially quite stirred. That high feeling, which can lead to a fulfilling relationship, also carries within it the seed of pain. Pain strikes when the connection breaks apart. Then we inevitably ask ourselves: Was it all just an illusion? This book reveals the subtle illusions of love and speaks to the reader like a good friend. The touching power of the text and the illusionistic images by Octavio Ocampo invite us to a higher perspective from which we can more easily recognize and see through fictions. New horizons for a fulfilling life open up. Depth and understanding play as significant a role as humor and joy. "I can highly recommend this book as a bedtime read.".
