Synopsis
The dramatic disappearance of the wife of a wealthy businessman from a small hotel on the French Riviera prompts a distinguished English widow to recount her fleeting encounter with a young aristocrat many years before in Monte Carlo. Impulsively following the broken man as he stumbles from the roulette table, she embarks on twenty-four hours of ecstasy, redemption and betrayal which will haunt her life forever.

Review
One hardly knows where to begin in praising this work. Perhaps it would be best to concentrate on the almost supernatural ability Zweig had to get into the heart and mind of a woman -- Nicholas Lezard Guardian Zweig belongs with those masters of the novella-Maupassant, Turgenev, Chekhov. Paul Bailey The Updike of his day... Zweig is a lucid writer, and Bell renders his prose flawlessly New York Observer The rediscovery of this extraordinary writer could well be on a par with last year's refinding of the long-lost Stoner, by John Williams --Simon Winchester Telegraph
About the Author
Stefan Zweig was born in 1881 in Vienna, a member of a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. He studied in Berlin and Vienna and was first known as a translator and later as a biographer. Zweig travelled widely, living in Salzburg between the wars, and enjoying literary fame. His stories and novellas were collected in 1934. In the same year, with the rise of Nazism, he briefly moved to London, taking British citizenship. After a short period in New York, he settled in Brazil where in 1942 he and his wife were found dead in bed in an apparent double suicide.
