A Russian Mother: A Novel (French Expressions)

"An intensely arrogant man, [the narrator] cares more about writing than people; yet, for the purposes of his book that is enough, yielding an eloquent exploration of the mutual appreciations and frustrations of his relationship with his mother. Enriching the narrative is its backdrop of cataclysmic events....Barbara Bray's translation displays the artfulness of Mr. Bosquet's prose, especially when he describes the interior life of a child trying to make sense of the adults around him."Alain Bosquet is the author of 'A Russian Mother: A Novel (French Expressions)' with ISBN 9780841913295 and ISBN 0841913293.
