A Foreign Affair
By Linda M. Ford
Two nights change two lives forever.
Odile is rich, privileged, and French. She has always loved women.
In 1981, she meets Miranda during a trip to Napa Valley. She finds it impossible to resist the American virgin. After their brief affair, Odile returns to her life in the vineyards of Burgundy.
But for Miranda, it isn’t over.
A trip to San Francisco with her friend, Rick only emphasizes the deep feeling she still has for Odile.
This story of love without borders is set against a backdrop of the events and challenges of the early 1980s. A time when a response to a question could take two weeks as letters flew across oceans.
Also, a time when a new pandemic was about to ravage the gay community on a global scale.
