SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORANGE PRIZE FOR FICTION 2012 Iasi, Romania,
the early 1950s. A nameless man is found on the steps of a
hospital. Deaf and mute, he is unable to communicate until a young
nurse called Safta brings paper and pencils with which he can draw.
Slowly, painstakingly, memories appear on the page. The memories
are Safta's also. For the man is Augustin, son of the cook at the
manor house which was Safta's family home. Born six months apart,
they grew up with a connection that bypassed words. But while
Augustin's world remained the same size Safta's expanded to embrace
languages, society - and a fleeting love, one long, hot summer. But
then came war, and in its wake a brutal Stalinist regime, and
nothing would remain the same.
