The book contains three stories, all set in Vienna. The third story is about the strange love pact of a painter and his model in the past and another strange pact (but not really a love pact this time) of another painter and her model at present. Although the first two stories do not tell us such an interesting, disturbing and misterious tale like the third one, Steven Kelly's use of the language makes it a pleasure to read.All the heroes (if that would be the word...) are just ordinary people with nothing very special about them. On the other hand, they all have interesting personalities with their own obsessions and fears, and the author's easy-going way of telling the story makes you feel like you are among them and living through their lives.
