Full Description

Stupid Love is the second segment of Garcie Harding’s Lamentation series. The Lamentations series is based upon the Jeremiah’s Book of Lamentation – a text of profound beauty and suffering.

In the five chapters of Jeremiah’s book, he describes the destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple in the late 6C BC. For the Jews living then, this was he destruction of their soul. Jeremiah describes Israel’s sins against God, God’s rage against his people, their suffering and their pleas for forgiveness.

Harding uses these themes as the framework for love and losing love. Stupid Love is a story about two lovers searching for their past amid sorrow and despair. How they brought on this suffering upon themselves is described in Dangerous Condition. Harding extends the lover’s story in parts Three and Four of series which she is currently completing.
