His wife, Pilar, distracts him by telling him drawn-out and convoluted stories, hiding him behind so many twists and turns that even Death itself will not be able to find him. During one such story, while the couple is on holiday in Macon, France, Bruce becomes entirely engrossed in the tabletop as he listens to Pilar. When he looks up, she's gone. Bruce looks for her, waits for her, interrogates the waiter, but she's nowhere to be found. Her bags, her clothes, and her toiletries are all gone. Bruce asks himself if this could be an elaborate prank -- it's the kind of trick Pilar loves -- and he begins to see clues in the story she told. The next morning Bruce sets out on a journey to follow these clues and to find Pilar. Saudade is the sixth novel from award-winning writer Thomas Trofimuk. It is a sweeping literary thriller, moving across Europe and North America, from France to Italy, to Palm Springs, and Lake Louise, showing a world on the cusp of a global pandemic. It is a love story, a story of stories, of loss, and of discovery.]]></description><link>https://stalbert.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S31C975245</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stalbert.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S31C975245</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Trofimuk, Thomas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stalbert.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/975245031</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781774391327/MC.GIF&amp;client=staplsd&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Elephant on Karluv Bridge]]></title><description><![CDATA[Set in Prague and narrated by the 600-year-old Charles Bridge, this novel begins with an elephant named Sal escaping the Prague Zoo.

This is All a Lie opens with Ray leaving his mistress for the final time. At the bottom of her apartment tower, he answers his phone. It's Nancy, his lover, and she is threatening to jump if he drives away. She wants emotional truth in an arena where everything is a lie. She wants a reason to stay alive and Ray is uniquely unqualified to give her what she wants. Ray's wife, Tulah, loves snow and keeps a snow journal - every time it snows she goes out in it and records what she thinks and feels about the snow in the context of her life. Tulah is filled with secrets, and denial, and unhappiness and when she is drawn into Ray's messy affair, everything she thought she knew is thrown aside. What are the consequences of losing intimacy? Does Nancy jump from her 39th floor balcony? What happens with Tulah and Ray? The answers lie within, perhaps.]]></description><link>https://stalbert.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S31C720138</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stalbert.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S31C720138</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Trofimuk, Thomas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stalbert.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/720138031</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781927855775/MC.GIF&amp;client=staplsd&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Waiting for Columbus]]></title><link>https://stalbert.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S31C551103</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stalbert.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S31C551103</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Trofimuk, Thomas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stalbert.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/551103031</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781551993065/MC.GIF&amp;client=staplsd&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Waiting For Columbus]]></title><link>https://stalbert.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S31C448429</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stalbert.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S31C448429</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[und]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Trofimuk, Thomas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stalbert.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/448429031</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>[a Novel]</subtitle><language>und</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780771085468/MC.GIF&amp;client=staplsd&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doubting Yourself to the Bone]]></title><link>https://stalbert.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S31C372101</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stalbert.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S31C372101</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Trofimuk, Thomas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stalbert.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/372101031</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781896951867/MC.GIF&amp;client=staplsd&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
