ëntre dorinÈ?Ä? È?i raÈ?iune... o problematicÄ? ancestralÄ? a omului zilelor noastre. Eroina acestui roman se aruncÄ? Ã®ntr-un joc al hazardului Ã®n iubire, o ruletÄ? la care astÄ?zi poÈ?i sÄ? cÃ¢È?tigi iar mÃ¢ine sÄ? pierzi. Dar, indiferent dacÄ? gÄ?seÈ?te satisfacÈ?ii sau decepÈ?ii, eroina Ã®ntotdeauna savureazÄ? gustul viu È?i plin de ardoare al jocului. Vanda, femeia modernÄ?, femeia de afaceri iese dintr-o cÄ?snicie searbÄ?dÄ? È?i neÃ®mplinitÄ?. DescÄ?tuÈ?atÄ? de restricÈ?ii legale È?i morale, de prejudecÄ?È?i È?i norme societale, ea se avantÄ? Ã®n vÃ¢rtejul periculos al dragostei Ã®ntÃ¢mplatoare.

Vanda este surferul pasionat care Ã®ncearcÄ? sÄ? prindÄ? cele mai prielnice valuri pe oceanul vieÈ?ii, sperÃ¢nd sÄ? se ridice la Ã®nÄ?lÈ?imi ameÈ?itoare. Iar noi cititorii, surfÄ?m cu ea pe aceeaÈ?i placÄ?, urcÃ¢nd È?i coborÃ¢nd pe coamele valurilor marine, simÈ?ind aceleaÈ?i emoÈ?ii È?i senzaÈ?ii care o copleÈ?esc È?i pe ea. Vanda este Ã®n cÄ?utarea iubirii, a acestei enigme a fiinÈ?ei umane, ce dizolvÄ? tot ce-i stÄ? Ã®n cale: raÈ?iune, credinÈ?Ä?, logicÄ?, moraluri. Iubirea se exprimÄ? prin pasiune, dar pasiunea este oarbÄ?. Oare suntem destinaÈ?i sÄ? iubim doar cÃ¢nd suntem orbi? Oare a iubi este o vinÄ? sau un dar divin?

*****

Between desire and reason...an old problem for the contemporary woman. Vanda, a psychologist in private practice in Romania, feels free and uninhibited after the end of aÂ boring and unfulfilling marriage. She foolishly jumps into the risky game of passionate love in hope of finding the ideal life partner. Only to find out that giving full love to others does not necessarily provides sincere love in return.

Vanda is enslaved by her own desires. She is simply pushed in new relationships by a seductive attraction to the opposite sex. She is incapable of giving full consideration to potential negative outcomes of her actions. In search for the perfect partner, she is driven by haste and passion, not by reason. However, Vanda is sincere in love, drinking each time the chalice of pleasure, thrill and excitement to the bottom.

Only when the first signs of difficulties show up, does she wonder what has happened: is she the cause of her own troubles? Or the men she deals with are not worthy of her love? How come she can advise her patients on understanding and managing their own feelings, yet she is unable to councel herself in similar cases?

In this process of trial and error, of being torn between desire and reason, Vanda grows and matrures emotionally. Will she succeed in the end?
