Eszter, the narrator and protagonist of \u003cem\u003eThe Fawn\u003c\/em\u003e, may well be Szabó’s most fascinating creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEszter is an only child. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Fawn\u003c\/em\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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Magda Szabo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45593428557871,"sku":"9781681377377","price":1599.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/6428\/9071\/files\/9781681377377.jpg?v=1783778719","url":"https:\/\/lunabooks.in\/products\/the-fawn","provider":"Luna Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
