Lili by Abigail De Witt
A fascinating examination of one woman's intimate life against the epic backdrop of twentieth-century Europe.
One of the many marvels of this extraordinary novel is its delicate, perfect poised choreography: Perhaps only for Kundera have the sensual and the philosophical danced together so beautifully. . . Abigail De Witt brings to life here a woman of sly and wondrous contradictions. Lili's hold on the reader will be no less ferocious than her grasp on life.
