They are hundred thousand miles apart, and could not love in flesh, not in part, so they love with their hearts. Everyday they chat on Facebook, and everyday they live, love and die a little. 10276 is the number of love messages they chatted in two months. Mark Fallen is a screenwriter from England, and Lim Shi Yi is a poet and novelist from Singapore who is married with two daughters.
It seems a perfect love made in heaven as they both share the same interests in calligraphy, music, painting, cooking and above all, poetry. She decides to write a script to document their love entitling The Secret Love Of Two Poets and he becomes her script mentor as they spiral deeper into a painful love affair.
Two parallel love stories, both virtual, both intense and life altering yet contrasting in development. She is to find out that it is much easier conjuring physical contacts and rendezvous for her characters in her script than it is for her own love and in the end has to choose between family and success or true love.
This outstanding collection of five short stories demonstrates one of the most satisfying skills of a consummate writer - that of being able to speak with different voices.
This is a fine follow-up to the very different ‘10276 in Two Months’.
It confirms this much-travelled writer as a vital voice in our changing world.
Any book that has me thinking is a great read.
These stories, told by Author Giok Ping Ang, are well worth the purchase.
They make you think and wonder if only…You still have time.
10276 in Two Months will take you on an irresistibly journey of two soul mates

This is a must read you will find hard to put down.
What an Absolutely Fascinating Story! Intuitively Written & full of Insight!
I found the thread of the story gripping & broaches on so many family, reiationship, emotional, moral, responsibility, duty, passion, caring and other challenges
that many of us go through or will go through in life.
