Returning home to Vienna, an author in midlife opens a letter from a woman he has no memory of, but who has loved him her whole life. From a youthful crush to a night of shared passion, she has shaped her entire existence around the quiet pursuit of his attention. Yet, despite their intimacy and a child born of their union, she remains a ghost in his biography.\n\nElsewhere in the collection, Zweig explores the fragile architecture of the heart: A young man mistakes his beloved for her sister. Two former lovers reunite after a lifetime of silence. A married woman repays a haunting debt of gratitude to a childhood sweetheart. Expertly paced, laced with the acutely accurate psychological detail and empathy that are Zweig's trademarks, this is a powerful addition to Pushkin's unequalled collection of his work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47309344866473,"sku":"PHBK-9781782697633","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/19676953482822.jpg?v=1785513648","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/letter-from-an-unknown-woman-and-other-stories-pushkin-press-classics","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
