Natalya — Jack Kersh

A major new novel by Jack Kersh, author of "Hotel Sarajevo". Audrey Miland is a precocious but damaged soul whose beauty shines forth in magical ways. She and failed writer Jack Strabler are two hurt ones searching for safety in love, but finding grandeur instead. Natalya is a "staggering work . . . a rare book that captures the irresistibility and impossibility of a relationship with such honesty and simplicity. The characters are authentic, true in absolutely every way."---Jon Rabinowitz, Turtle Point Press, New York "a modern-day version of Nabokov's 'Lolita' . . . a tragic love story"-- Kirkus Reviews
