Description: The translator of "The Elegance of the Hedgehog," Alison Anderson, delivers a remarkable literary novel - with a stunning conclusion - inspired by historical events, in which a diary weaves together the lives of three women: a dying Ukranian doctor who befriends Anton Chekov in the 19th century, a modern-day London book editor, and the woman she hires to translate it into English.
