An Indian boy and a Japanese-English girl meet in London’s Regent’s Park Zoo while watching sea lions. And just like that, a relationship begins. To say it was an unusual relationship would be an understatement. He was a curious but lonely man and she was a quiet, elegant woman. He had questions but she never felt the need to provide answers. She didn’t need much but gave him plenty.
Good things, however unusual they may be, never do last. He knew it and maybe she did too. So how long would they be able to go on?
Heartfelt, touching and quite revealing, Once for the Asking is a study in the strange ways of human behaviour and how we choose to treat one another because of it.
