"Texier does a skillful job of re-creating the rich insularity of the French provincial town. . . . [She has] the naturalness of a writer who is genuinely comfortable with the past." --The New York Times Book Review
"Brilliant. . . .the place itself is the seduction." --Bookforum "Absorbing . . . The novelist's brilliance in evoking the quiet tensions of marriage and motherhood engender an immediate sympathy. . . Seamlessly interwoven are Victorine's reflections on her turbulent life, offering a glimpse back into the incredible pain and sense of betrayal her romantic whimsy caused." --San Francisco Chronicle "Flaubert's classic hovers around the hem of this novel. . . . Texier has an unsparing sense of ethical complexity, the partial satisfaction that must suffice for a person torn between irreconcilable desires and responsibilities." --The Christian Science Monitor "A spellbinding novel made all the more powerful by a profound examination of remorse." --The Sunday Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA) "Mesmerizing . . . With lush, vivid description, Catherine Texier brings to life both the world around Victorine and the woman herself." -Booklist "A novel of historic change, adventure and passion that keeps you feverishly turning the pages." -The Herald Express (UK)Witnessing Nazi patrols in the seaside town where she is spending the final years of her life, Catherine Texier examines her past, from the willow-lined canals of her childhood home, to her nights along the Mekong River at the turn of the twentieth century, to her decision to leave her family to start a new life with her lover in Indochina. By the author of Breakup. Reprint. 15,000 first printing.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1899, Victorine Texier abandons her small French village, her husband, and her two young children to follow her lover to Indochina. She has fallen for Antoine, her childhood sweetheart, and when his work sends him to Asia she is compelled to go with him, and to leave everything she knows behind. Their five weeks together onboard the ship to Indochina are a kind of honeymoon, a prelude to their liberation in a sultry new world of frangipani trees and monsoons. Victorine gives herself over completely to this exhilarating new life of colonial extravagance that is, until she encounters her youngest sister, who has also been living in Hanoi and Saigon. This reunion, both joyous and tense, reminds Victorine all too painfully of her life and family in France and forces her to confront exactly what she has done. Vividly narrated through a series of flashbacks, Victorine is a richly textured and passionate story of rebellion, guilt, and unruly love. Artikel-Nr. 9780385721264
