Over the ensuing hours host and guest will fight a duel of words and silences, accusations and evasions. They will exhume the memory of their friendship and that of the General’s beautiful, long-dead wife. And they will return to the time the three of them last sat together following a hunt in the nearby forest--a hunt in which no game was taken but during which something was lost forever. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eEmbers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a classic of modern European lite\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Friends of the St Mary's County Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48525072269561,"sku":null,"price":2.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0475\/5806\/6334\/files\/101_8782.jpg?v=1781283182","url":"https:\/\/folstmarys.com\/products\/embers-by-sandor-marai-trade-paperback","provider":"Friends of the St Mary's County Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
