'Achingly beautiful' Guardian 'By turns touching and profoundly
sad' Spectator When a young, rebellious writer from Leningrad
arrives in a remote Russian village to study local customs, one
woman stands out: Vera, who has been waiting thirty years for her
lover to return from the Second World War. As fascinated as he is
appalled by the fruitless fidelity of this still beautiful woman,
he sets out to win her affections. But the better he thinks he
understands her the more she surprises him, and the more he gains
uncomfortable insights into himself. Lyrically evoking the haunting
beauty of the Archangel region, Makine tells a timeless story of
the human heart and its capacity for enduring love, selfish passion
and cowardly betrayal.
