Twenty years after leaving her, the great love of Esther's life
sends a telegram. Tomorrow, he tells her, he is coming back. Esther
has not forgotten that her dazzling lover is a fantasist and a
liar, nor that he caused her unimaginable hurt. But she also
remembers how he made her feel, how he woke a part of her that has
ever since been sleeping. A special meal is planned, a car arrives
at the house, and - in a heightened visit for which Esther is not
remotely prepared - their two lives converge for a second, dizzying
time. 'Like Embers, the novella recounts a dramatically charged
meeting after a gap of decades, and it has a similarly intricate
symbolism' Guardian 'In times of recession, they say, gold never
loses its value. Neither do literary gems . . . There are some
great writers I find it hard to talk about without gushing, and
Marai is on that list' Sunday Herald 'Rediscovering Marai is like
finding an Old Master painting in the attic' Sunday Telegraph
