Maria Rybakova - Quaternity. Four Novellas from the Carpathians

Four thematically linked novellas that focus on obsessive relationships, stolen identities, and illusions of grandeur in the post-1989 Carpathian-Balkan region: <br/> ● An American expat in Europe appropriates the identity of a Romanian orphan in her desperate search for love. <br/> ● A dictator&apos;s daughter learns, while on a study trip to France, that her parents have been overthrown and are about to be executed. <br/> ● A minor character from a novel confronts her own insignificance. <br/> A wife announces to her husband of forty years that she&apos;s just been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
