I have a soft spot for Irish authors. Maybe it's their grasp of hope and hopelessness, or love and longing. Regardless, James Lawless' 'For Love of Anna' is a wonderful and heartbreaking mix of the two. Anna Zweig is a ballerina who meets and falls in love with her soulmate, Guido. They meet in a cafe, and it doesn't take long for either of them to realize that fate has brough them together for a reason. As you might have guessed, however, true love is never simple. Guido is called away to the military, and tragedy befalls the star-crossed lovers. This is more than a boy-meets-girl story... it touches on destiny, politics, and power, and all told through the eyes of love. Keep the tissues handy!
