Némirovsky, Irène 1903-1942
The wine of solitude / Irène Némirovsky - London : Chatto & Windus , 2012, c 1935 - 248 p. ; 22 cm
Originally published as Le vin de solitude: Paris : Éditions Albin Michel, 1935 This translation originally published in hardcover: London : Chatto & Windus, 2011.
Beginning in a fictionalized Kiev, The Wine of Solitude follows the Karol family through the Great War and the Russian Revolution, as the young Hélène grows from a dreamy, unhappy child into a strong willed young woman. From the hot Kiev summers to the cruel winters of St Petersburg and eventually to springtime in Paris, the would-be writer Hélène 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.
