When a young man's fiance does not return after participating in a volunteer opportunity at work, he follows her into the void, experiences a large corporeal alteration, and must depend on "companions" to set things aright.
I am a poor, wayfaring stranger
Wandering through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, no fear or danger
In that bright land
To which I go

Well I am normally more read in french than in english, and moreover it is not so easy for me to write a good blurb in english, but'll give it a try:

A delicate and fragile woman visits her sister, and the confrontation with her brutal brother-in-law eventually leads her to insanity.

Yes !
I am very proud of myself for having been able to write a "guessable" blurb in english. Maybe I should give myself a sherlock...
But I think rather give it to you as well as the next blurb !

What are you talking about? Your English is better than most native speakers' English.

Wow. I've never read the books and only saw the first 10 minutes of the first movie.

Lucky guess.

New blurb coming soon.

Hi again !
As I posted on the thread where you posted your beautiful poetry, welcome back !

I think this blurb is a bit cold. Would you mind answering it, for my benefit ?

And post another one, for fun ?
