Description: "In Love Virtually, Emmi and Leo begin an accidental e-epistolary relationship that proves so vivid it threatens to overwhelm their real-life relationships. Like its predecessor, Every Seventh Wave is an e-epistolary novel, presented entirely in the form of e-mails. Love Virtually ends as Leo leaves Austria for America. He and Emmi have still not met, but the intensity of their correspondence has been threatening Emmi's marriage. During his trip, Leo meets Pamela, with whom he starts a relationship. Leo returns from Boston and gradually resumes e-mail contact with Emmi, even though he plans to settle down with Pamela. Emmi and Leo meet at last in person, in an attempt to draw a line under their relationship, but they cannot stop writing to each other. When Pamela learns of Leo's liaison, she returns to the United States, and Emmi's marriage to her husband is tested to its limits. Will Emmi and Leo ever get together? Once again, Daniel Glattauer takes us up and down through stormy waters and delivers a thrilling sequel"--
