| Customer Reviews: Majestic continuation of this splendid trilogy December 28, 2001 19 out of 20 found this review helpful
This elegant masterpiece celebrates the last years of Transylvanian aristocratic life before world war 1. It tells the story of the love between Adrienne and Balint against a background of growing ethnic and international tension. The author's anguish at the end of the civilisation he loved is hidden behind his sensuous reconstruction of social life in great houses, by the beauty of the Carpathian mountains to which the lovers briefly escape, and by the comic relief provided by rural life in all social classes. Trollope meets Proust.
