Testament to Love by Ariel Tachna

[reviews_and_ramblings]

The plot involving an angel who falls in love for his protege is not original, we have seen that in book and movie (above all Wim Wenders), but usually these stories have not an happily ever after.

Instead in Testament to Love, Ariel Tachna has chosen to tell us of a forgiving Lord, who thinks that love, and also physical love, is an expression of Love toward him, and so he allows to Emmanuel, one if his angels, to remain with Cameron, a poor painter.

Emmanuel was sent to Cameron to teach him to see again the beauty around him. Cameron is a good man, but not a successful man. His wife has left him, taking away their daughters, and now he lives only to gain what little money he could to send him to his ex wife. But when Emmanuel enters his life he has another reason to live: the simple days he passes with him, working and chatting. If he can have also sex, it would be perfect, but he contents himself also with the companionship.

But Emmanuel can't stay with him, not forever, and eventually he has to leave; but when he learns that Cameron has tried to commit suicide, he has only one choice left: became a fallen angel...

Another short story, enjoyable and well written. The sex scenes are fresh and somewhat naive, don't miss the erotic wings of Emmanuel...
