The Lying Tongue
“I looked out of the window, but all I could see was an expanse of cloud. I remembered the first time I had made this journey, running onto the plane bound for Venice in a bid to escape my past. I had thought that by starting afresh, in another country, I would be able to forget about everything that had happened to me.
