Introspective and poignant, "The Wine of Solitude" is the most
autobiographical of all of the novels from the celebrated author of
"Suite Francaise."
Beginning in a fictionalized Kiev, "The Wine of Solitude" follows
the Karol family through the Great War and the Russian Revolution,
as the young Helene grows from a dreamy, unhappy child into a
strongwilled young woman. From the hot Kiev summers to the cruel
winters of St Petersburg and eventually to springtime in Paris, the
would-be writer Helene blossoms, despite her mother's neglect, into
a clear-eyed observer of the life around her. Here is a powerful
tale of disillusionment -- the story of an upbringing that produces
a young woman as hard as a diamond, prepared to wreak a shattering
revenge on her mother.
