“Linden Honey, Blackcurrant Wine” (3300 words). Beneath Ceaseless Skies #411. Published July 11, 2024.

A woman reunites with the love of her life after sixty years.

What a fool to hope for more than silence—to think she might be welcomed, much less forgiven, after all this time! Irena stands alone in the heart of the grove, where she has never stood alone before, and lets disappointment settle like snow on her shoulders.

— Reviewed by Charles Payseur in Locus #764 as “a powerful and memorable narrative that simultaneously urges that it’s never too late to act out of love, and acknowledges that time is not infinite … It’s a lovely story.”

— Reviewed by Maria Haskins in her Short Fiction Roundup as a “gorgeous, tender love story … It’s a story of love and regret, but also of hope and joy, and every detail is bright and sparkling with life.”
