Description
From the pathetic socialist idyll, through the emotional years of that which you do not understand but feel, even with your skin, as change, to the illusions that collapse and the loss of meaning — "Saint Nicholas of Horseshoe Bay" gathers all of this, and adds still more, in the story of one Bulgarian family. It began not in love, but as if by a concurrence of circumstances, and set off down a road whose stops can split you with laughter and also bring you to tears.
Is the building of a house that stays empty the great metaphor for the life two spouses share? What happens to them and to their children while they raise it, brick by brick, in a bay that resembles a horseshoe and stands under the patronage of a saint in whom few of the local people believe? Out of what are friendship, honor, responsibility, and resignation born? Why does death sometimes come before you have understood what, exactly, love is? Is weighing anchor a flight, or a salvation?
Ekaterina Kostova's third book is in your hands, so that it may tell.
