Présentation de l'éditeur
Jilted by his girlfriend and disenchanted with modern France, the writer Shutov revisits St Petersburg for the first time in twenty years, hoping to reconnect with his roots and the woman he loved in his youth. But the new, brash Russia turns out to be a terrible disillusionment. Then he encounters a relic of the Soviet era: an old man whose tale of a love affair that survived the Siege of Leningrad and the scourge of Stalin puts everything into perspective. Nothing compares to what he has suffered and lost, yet his spirit remains unbroken.
In this breathtaking novel, Makine ranges from the Second World War to the present as he penetrates to the heart of the human condition and shows what truly matters in life.
