Article: Is true love possible? Novelist learns firsthand.

``The Trial of True Love'' by William Nicholson; Nan A. Talese/Doubleday ($18.95)

___

It's pretty easy to figure out what's going to happen at the end of William Nicholson's "The Trial of True Love,'' but that doesn't mean it isn't worth reading what happens in between.

As the title suggests, and as our narrator assures us, "this is a story about falling in love." The year is 1977. The narrator is Bron Dearborn, a writer whose "three completed novels ... lie in a cardboard box alongside letters ending `but I would be interested to see your next work.'''
