In a small Tunisian café in Paris, run by the widowed Houria and her young niece Sabiha, Australian traveller John Patterner takes shelter from a sudden rainstorm. The chance encounter draws John into Sabiha's world and begins a passionate relationship shaped by cultural difference, longing and her powerful desire for a child.\n              \u003c\/font\u003e\n              \u003cdiv\u003e\n               \u003cfont color=\"#111111\" face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n                \u003cbr\u003e\n               \u003c\/font\u003e\n              \u003c\/div\u003e\n              \u003cdiv\u003e\n               \u003cfont color=\"#111111\" face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n                Years later, John is living quietly in suburban Melbourne but remains haunted by what happened in Paris. He confides in Ken, an ageing novelist who recognises within John's memories the makings of one final love story. Through this framing narrative, Miller explores not only love itself but also the uncertain boundary between memory and invention, and the moral responsibility involved when one person transforms another's private life into literature.\n               \u003c\/font\u003e\n              \u003c\/div\u003e\n              \u003cfont color=\"#111111\" face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n               \u003cbr\u003e\n               Written with Miller's characteristic clarity, compassion and psychological insight, Lovesong is a tender yet unsentimental study of desire, betrayal, secrecy and the consequences of human frailty.
