She grows up in a provincial Hungarian town with her  father, an eccentric aristocrat and steeply downwardly mobile flower  breeder, and her mother, a harried music teacher failing to make ends  meet, in the years before World War II. In postwar Communist Hungary,  Eszter has moved to Budapest and become a star of the stage, but she has  forgotten no slight and forgiven nobody, least of all her too kind and  beautiful classmate Angela.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Fawn\u003c\/i\u003e unfolds as Eszter’s confession, filled with the rage of a lifetime and  born, we come to sense, of irreversible regret. It is a tale of  childhood, of the theater, of the collateral damage of the riven  twentieth century, of hatred, and, in the end, a tragic tale of love.","brand":"NYRB Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43374886158591,"sku":"9781681377377","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781681377377_s600x595.jpg?v=1782150028","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781681377377","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
