The Man Who Was Left Behind (2013)
“John and Amy Larsen sat inside on a bench in the lounge where the evening before they had listened to music and drunk wine.“I don’t have any more postcards,” she said, and rummaged through her purse. From the outside pocket of it she took out three postcards, already written on and stamped. All were addressed to the same name and place, and at the top left-hand corner of each she had conscientiously put down the day, and the month, May, and year, 1965, as though the cards were intended to be sa...ved for posterity.“Don’t worry about it,” her husband said. “We can buy some more as soon as we get off.”They had been married for eighteen months, although they did not look married. To look at, they might even have been related by blood rather than by law. They looked like students, and John Larsen was one; his wife had graduated the year before. She had majored in English, he was in his last year at business school.Standing near them was another American couple, who were on their honeymoon.MoreLess
