The Past Tense of Love

Kerry, a calm and attractive young Englishwoman, is sent by her volatile boss to France to deliver a book to none other than the mother who had abandoned her years ago. Although a grande amoureuse in her day, she's now just a sick old lady about to lose her home and she had appealed for help to four of her previous lovers. And what do you do if you're Pierre Leclair, too tall, too thin, with a large Adam's apple, stumbling feet and eyes that look sad even when you're happy? What do you do if you're madly in love with a brisk, efficient ever-so-accomplished English beauty? What do you do? You pursue her!
