The Green Parrot

by Martha Bibescu and Martha Bibesco

Book Overview

Through an anonymous daughter of five Bibesco's work details the plight of an upper-class Russian family exiled to France on the eve of World War I. Stricken by grief and so far removed from czarist Russia the narrator finds solace watching a green parrot through a shop window. A coming of age and a reckoning with predestination, Bibesco's short novel is an essential modern work.
