Читать книгу The Kiss: Love Stories from North America - Jennifer Bassett - Страница 1

There are many different kinds of love story. There are simple love stories, where a boy meets a girl, they fall in love, get married, and everything ends happily. There are stories where everything does not end happily, and stories where the path of true love is full of problems and arguments, mistakes and misunderstandings.

In The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky, Jack and his new wife are returning to Jack’s home in Yellow Sky, Texas, and they find a most surprising – and dangerous – welcome waiting for them. In A Seashore Wooing a girl meets a boy, but they have a great problem – and the name of the problem is Aunt Martha. A White Heron is a very different kind of love story. A little girl discovers in herself a love for the natural world – a love that is stronger than the need for money or the wish to please a new friend. And in By Courier a young lady refuses to speak to her young man. But why? What has he done wrong?

But the volume begins with the story called The Kiss. Be careful who you kiss, and when you do it!
