5.0 out of 5 stars
subtle chekhovian short stories, May 15, 2004
This review is from: The Tattered Cloak and other novels (Paperback)
Ok, this is one of the shallowest book comments I've ever read. However, I noticed that amazon had no comments about this book, an unforgivable thing. I read this work in the early nineties and was enchanted by the characters and the romance and the emotional resonances (not to mention the writing). Ten years have passed, and I totally forgot about the book and the author. Totally forgot! Just randomly a week ago the name popped into my mind, and I went to amazon, and there is the book (which I have reordered). Apparently Berberova has written quite a bit (not really surprising), and to tell the truth I remember next to nothing about what the stories in the book are about (except it had something to do with Russian expats in Paris--wasn't there a musician somewhere?). The only thing I can convey to you is my utter enthusiasm about getting this book in my hands again.
