Magnificent. A spellbinding [story] driven by intense passion

Beautifully realised. Passionate and compelling. Magical

A lost masterpiece - a brilliant elegy on friendship, one of the most ambitious in literature

A castle at the foot of the Carpathian mountains in the 1930s. Two men, inseparable in their youth, meet for the first time in forty-one years. They have spent their lives waiting for this moment. 
Four decades earlier a murky, traumatic event - something to do with a betrayal, and a woman - led to their sudden separation. Now, as their lives draw to a close, the devastating truth about that moment will be revealed. 
 
Embers is a masterpiece - an unforgettable story of passion, fidelity, truth and deception.
