Introspective, intense and poignant, The Wine of Solitude is the most autobiographical of all Ir ne N mirovsky's novels, now available in English for the first time. Imbued with melancholy, and regret, it explores the troubled relationship between a young girl, her distant, self-absorbed mother and her mother's lover, Max. We follow the family through the Great War and the Russian Revolution, as the young H l ne grows from a dreamy, unhappy child into an angry young woman. Through hot summers in a fictionalised Kiev (N mirovsky's own birthplace) and the cruel winters of St Petersburg, the would-be writer H l ne blossoms, despite her mother's neglect, into a clear-eyed observer of the life around her. The Wine of Solitude is a powerful tale less of the end of innocence, than of disillusionment; the story of an upbringing that produces a young woman as hard as a diamond, prepared to wreak a shattering revenge on her mother.
