"Esther's
Inheritance" by Sándor Márai

Fans of ‘Embers’ will be
delighted by this theatrical novella in which - after an
interlude of twenty years - a woman is revisited by the only man
she ever loved. Lajos is a charismatic liar and a thief who
returns to Esther’s life to steal from her one final time. From
the moment Lajos steps out of the car Esther, and her family and
friends become powerless under his spell.
Marai masterfully sculpts the
atmosphere of a ghostly reunion with his careful and meticulous prose,
before reaching a beautifully understated finish.
