The description of the story reads:
A cycle of linked stories about love and loss and the difficulty of communicating emotion in any language, Lost in Translation portrays the complicated, intertwined lives of two men and a woman.
I read the first 3 chapters, as I thought, twice, before I realised that the 'chapter' was actually a 'story', told from the point of view of the person named below the heading. Each story is written in the first person, and follows on from the previous story, which further added to my confusion.
The last story feels incomplete to me. In the last paragraph, Julie tells Roy to go after Jesse, Roy's ex-boyfriend, because that is who he is in love with, but Roy crosses the room to comfort Julie, his ex-wife. The end.
It was interesting, reading how each character viewed their situation, but it left me with more questions than answers. Will there be another set of stories following on from this? To date, no.
I feel I've missed something, because other readers have enjoyed it and rate it highly.
