Summary A fiercely beautiful love story for the ages, The Disappeared traces one woman’s three-decades-long journey from the peaceful streets of Montreal to the war-torn villages of Cambodia, as a brief affair turns into a grand passion of loss and remembrance, set against one of the most brutal genocides of our time.

But I constantly found myself wondering if I was somehow missing the plot. Having listened to, twice, all of Doestoevsky's great books, I had high hopes for this one. If you haven't read Dostoevsky yet, I'd probably start with 'Crime & Punishment', 'Brothers Karamazov', and/or 'the Idiot' first Anyway, if you love Russian novels and love Dostoevsky, this is a must (especially if you also love Nabokov). Dostoevsky's double/doppelgänger/unreliable narrator idea inspired a whole fugue of Nabokov novels ('Despair', 'Pale Fire', etc), entire Kafkaesque worlds, Solaris, the Riplad, etc. I finished reading 'the Double' and immediately started seeing how Dostoevsky fits and flips right into the whole bizarre family tree of madness literature. After reading this short, early piece of Dostoevsky it is nice to start recognizing its influence on other authors and their work. While patterns still do emerge in translations, they are fragmented and seem often like poor reflections of what the original must be. His Gogol-inspired novella plays with language, poetry, puns and double entendres are hard to translate adequately (go with Pevear and Volokhonsky for the poetry and avoid Constance Garnett). Wish I could have read it in the original Russianĭostoevsky's 'The Double' is one of those novellas/novels where I REALLY wish I could have read it in the original Russian. Orsini: By the end of the story, Prince Sebastian seems to still be splitting his time between dresses and menswear. I still wish I had three books worth of time to flesh it out but I hope the end result is something that resonates with readers, especially parents. I didn’t have three books worth of time to develop the King’s feelings toward his kid so I had to think very carefully about how to present it in a way that felt in-character but also positive. I wanted the ending to be hopeful but still make sense to the characters. Wang: I rewrote the ending with Sebastian’s father several times. Orsini: What was the hardest scene to write, and why? I did a lot of research for context but kept the final product flexible. Frances makes clothes that feel fresh and new and I wanted them to defy the silhouettes and conventions of the time. But I also tried not to be too strict about accuracy because I wanted the book to feel fairytale-like and contemporary. Wang: I spent a lot of time on Pinterest which is a pretty good resource for historical costumes. Orsini: How much research went into the gorgeous fashion depicted in the book? An ancient arthropod, their form-notable for its pair of pincers and an elegant tail that holds a menacing stinger high in the air in a permanent striking position-hasn't changed since prehistoric times, though today there are some 1700 different species. Indeed scorpions are older than dinosaurs. Scurrying across hundreds of millions of years and across every continent except Antarctica, this book gives the scorpion its due as one of nature's longest lasting survivors. Pryke shows in this book, their bad reputation has overshadowed many exceptional qualities. From the dawn of human civilization they have been a dangerous figure in our imaginations-poisonous, precise, and deadly quiet-but as Louise M. No creature has quite the sting in our mythology and folklore as the scorpion. I’ve already gotten on the waitlist for Welch’s next book Love and Luck at library.The details make this novel relatable and impossible not to love. Details like The Dress, Ren’s gingerbread house, the cemetery at sunrise, the pictures Lina’s mother took, what Howard made for dinner at midnight. It highlights everything exotic and awe-inspiring about Italy. I love love love the Italian setting of this book! This is one of my favorite book settings that I’ve read in a while.If you haven’t read this book yet, wait until you do before you read on □ This book was so sweet and fun! I use more spoilers than usual in this review. I was so excited when it came in at my library.
