"Bordeaux," a shrewd and moving portrayal of life in contemporary
Europe, is the first novel to appear in English by Soledad
Puertolas, one of the most acclaimed writers in Spain today.
A novel that subtly takes the measure of our time, Bordeaux
traces the fates of three people: Pauline Duvivier, an elderly
woman who lives a solitary life in a tranquil suburb of Bordeaux;
Rene Dufour, a Frenchman involved in unfulfilling relationships
with several women; and Lilly Skalnick, a young American woman
traveling in Europe. Their stories, which take place in France and
elsewhere throughout Europe and the United States, intersect in
seemingly random yet revealing ways, gradually forming a complex
social portrait. Unifying all their stories are the themes of
loneliness, restlessness, and the search for meaning in a world in
which neither the past nor the present offers firm answers or
lasting consolations.
