The Missing Lover
is about Virginia Key,
a woman on
a tightrope between the
present and the past. She has come to Paris
with her
fiancé Jack, en route
home
after two
weeks in Italy. As soon as she arrives, Virginia is nearly suffocated
by the
memories of another Paris when there were barricades in the streets and
she was
in love with a French revolutionary.
Praise for Summer
Brenner’s Writing
"The
wisdom of the body is Summer Brenner's terrain. She is the author as
choreographer, a
moving force with a pen." The
Los Angeles Times
“....graphic,
lyrical language to make us feel the
rhythms, the hard work, the disappointments
and the occasional exhilaration of
something that transcends ourselves." The
New York Times
"Each
story focuses on a different dancer and a
different dance, and marvelously, the writer's
voice takes on the style of the
form so well you can almost hear the music in the
background." San Jose Mercury News
"...simple,
sensual language conjures luminescent
pictures of lives framed by uncomplicated desires.
This is not to say that the
characters, or the stories, are not complex. At her best, Brenner is
able to
construct rich, emotional taut characters with only a few
brush
strokes." San Francisco
Chronicle
