This week Mr B's Book Monkey is reading....... "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.    Paperback - £7.99 - Macmillan  email to buy or enquire
