The acclaimed author of Dreams of My Russian Summers and Requiem for a Lost Empire delivers the final novel in his epic literary trilogy. In present-day France, a Russian writer recalls his harsh childhood at a Stalingrad orphanage in the 1960s, and the old Frenchwoman, a family friend, whose tales fed his dreams of a better world. One story in particular has stayed with him: that of her brief, passionate affair, during World War II, with the French fighter pilot Jacques Dorme, who subsequently died in a plane crash in the Siberian mountains. So the narrator decides to retrace Jacques Dormeâ??s steps, beginning a journey that has him revisiting the land of his birth to then seeing his adopted homeland in an unflattering new light. A profound and moving novel about the dangers of ideology and of war, delivered with humor, sensuousness, and great lyricism. â??This isnâ??t a book that will remind you of any other book. Its charm lies precisely in its originality, in Makineâ??s unexpected metaphors, and in his unusual prose, which . . . beautifully illuminates his deep, intuitive knowledge of two very different, very ancient, very damaged cultures.â? â??The Washington Post FICTION,Literary, eBooks.com<
