AndreÃ¯ Makine,Geoffrey Strachan
The residents of Villiers-la-Foret, France, are stunned in the summer of 1947 when two resident Russian migrs are found washed up on the riverbank. The dead man was a vulgar ex-soldier; the woman--dazed but still alive--is an elegant beauty rumored to be a member of the royal family. Makine weaves an intricate tale of history, passion, madness, and ultimate tragedy.
