Adrift: a love story of sorts set in Venice

by Kate Evans

Adrift is a love story of sorts set in Venice. Set against the romantic back-drop of Venice it is not romantic. Five people – Polly and her grandson, Max and his girlfriend Mandy, and an artist called Joe – journey to Venice. They arrive separately but their paths continually to cross. They will find themselves emotionally adrift in their efforts to find love. It is certainly not a happy ending for all of them. There is some violence and some language some readers may find offensive.
