When a family rents a guesthouse on her family's estate, Zinaida meets and befriends Anton, the middle son, who is a doctor and a writer. As the summer progresses, Zinaida's diary becomes an intimate, intropective narrative of her singular relationship with Anton. More than a century later, Katya Kendall discovers Zinaida's diary, and in a last attempt to save her publishing business, she hires Ana to translate the diary. They soon realize that Zinaida's Anton is actually Anton Chekhov, the author and playwright, and that the diary points to the possibility that Chekhov used that summer to write a novel. As Katya and Ana delve deeper, they reflect on the events and forces which have steered them to where they are, and they discover that the manuscript is not the only mystery the diary holds. --]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1375528</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1375528</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anderson, Alison]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1375528057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062423368/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[One Hour of Fervor]]></title><description><![CDATA[From the best-selling author of The Elegance of the Hedgehog comes a story of one man's promise to keep a secret that will keep him at a remove from the greatest joy in his life. One night at a party of artists and intellectuals in Kyoto, Japanese art dealer Haru encounters a woman who unsettles him more than anyone else ever has and he is compelled to know her. Maud, a French woman passing through Japan, is distant. Her cold gaze challenges any exchange, yet she is drawn to Haru. After spending ten intense nights together, Maud leaves without a word. When he learns that she is carrying his child, Haru is determined to find her. But his advances are unwelcome. Maud wants to raise the child alone, and extracts a heartbreaking promise from him to stay out of their lives. In her poetically precise prose, Muriel Barbery explores beauty and the deep love of a father, but also captures the darkness that pushes people apart. --from publisher's website.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1468789</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1468789</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Barbery, Muriel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1468789057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798889660040/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Silence of the Choir]]></title><description><![CDATA[When they arrive in Altino, where the Santa Marta Association will decide their fate, seventy-two men-immigrants, refugees or migrants-change the lives of everyone they encounter, in this story told through a growing symphony of voices that ends only when one final voice brings silence to the choir.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1472761</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1472761</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sarr, Mohamed Mbougar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1472761057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798889660200/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fractured Soul]]></title><description><![CDATA["Tokyo, 1938.
