    "The appointment" is the story of a woman that while he rides the bus to get to the place she has her appointment (a set up to be interrogated by a policeman about her treason accusations after she had dropped some "marry me" notes in some tuxedos she was going to send over to Italy, trying to find an Italian man that helped her escape the dictatorship regime in her country), she remembers all the events that had lead her to this moments. She thinks about a lot of things and because of her intense thinking, she misses her stop and has to walk a little bit to the appointment place. While she walks, she sees her living-in boyfriend in a garage (apparently he had been lying to her because he always told her that he was drinking, but in reality he is engaged in some kind of work for the government) and by seeing him she feels betrayed and terrified because her boyfriend was the only person she trusted and now she sees that he is a liar, and then the book ends. I don't know if I liked it, but it certainly did not deliver the promise it made in the jacket.
