Fans of romance and sweet peach Bellinis will drink up this quirky love story set in Beirut in the year 2000, right at the tail end of the South Lebanon conflict. In Heloise and Bellinis: A Novel, George Smith, a Private with the American peace-keeping forces, falls head-over-heels with a beautiful divorcée named Heloise Svejk - and immediately abandons his post.
Interspersed with the chapters are intermezzi in which the author muses and comments on George; Heloise; life; love; Harry’s Bar; his father, Giuseppe; peach-nectar-and-champagne cocktails (aka bellinis).
