Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt is a well-known French author whose works enjoy great popularity both in literature and on stage. His new novel “The Woman in the Mirror” is available in Russian for the first time.
The book brings together three stories from different eras: 17th-century Bruges, early 20th-century Vienna, and present-day Los Angeles. Three main heroines—Anna, Hanna, and Annie—have a unique kind of beauty, and each of them faces her own calling, which may lead to dangerous consequences.
The novel “The Woman in the Mirror” can’t be classified unambiguously, as it combines elements of philosophy, psychology, history, and modern times. Each heroine in this book sounds strikingly contemporary and relevant.
