Madame Balashovskaya's Apartment

Eugenie Balashovskaya is an old woman now, looking back on her 90 years of life, mixing memories and dreams with her waking existence. Her own life may be drawing to close, but her Paris apartment is positively brimming with activity. The death of her daughter Rose has brought Eugenie closer to her two grand children. Barbara struggles with her life; Nicholas is satisfied with his, but both seek her comfort and, in their own way, look to her as a source for connection. She tells her stories to a 19-year tenant named Anna, sharing personal experiences of tragedy, love and family in a captivating pastiche of memory, life and death. In Madame Balashovskaya`s Apartment, Martha Baillie spins a wonderful tale that is part retrospective and part mystery.  

In Madame Balashovkaya's Apartment Eugenie Balashovskaya is approaching the end of her life, but her apartment in Paris is very much alive with the comings and goings of her family and of those she has loved and lost.
