In the postwar Soviet Union, two brothers end up in the same labour camp in Siberia: Lev, a pacifist poet, and the narrator, a hardened veteran. Between them is Zoya, the young Jewish woman whom both will love all their lives. The survivor, now elderly and emigrated to America, reconstructs that love triangle and the reunion of 1956.
It belongs to the Panorama de narrativas collection, number 687. Translation by Jesús Zulaika of the English original «House of Meetings». First edition, published in February 2008.
Work aimed at readers of literary and historical fiction, especially those interested in the Soviet Union and Stalinism.
