Title : Roquenval - Nina Berberova - book
Summary :
A stately home now altered by the years, Roquenval watches over its dead towers and eroded gutters, just like the mistress of the house, Praskovia, who guards the mystery of all those who lived around her: the half-mad brother whom the count, her husband, threw from the top of the stairs; Robert, her son, an adventurer turned abbot; not forgetting her grandson who fled Roquenval, taking the tapestries with him. This is what the narrator discovers, coming to spend a vacation in this family home of a classmate. Grandeur and decadence, such is the destiny of these castaways from old Russia.
