As I was reading this small novel, I wasn't enjoying it's sometimes stiff prose and not enjoying the judgemental honesty of the narrator, Esther. However, it redeems itself, and I was so intrigued by the end, that I read about the author. He wrote it in 1939!
Esther's Inheritance by Sandor Marai let's you in to all the characters' minds and hearts, even as we don't even know these people. I wonder if the author imagined Esther to be as lovely as the woman on the cover?
