Vaclav and Lena by Haley Tanner
Tuesday, May 15th
Set in Brooklyn’s Russian émigré community of Brighton Beach, Vaclav & Lena is the story of two ten-year-old emigrants from radically different worlds. Orphan Lena is introverted, troubled, and trapped in an unstable domestic situation. Vaclav’s burgeoning love of performing magic is indulged by hardworking parents pursuing the American Dream. Vivid, universally resonant, and highly original, Vaclav & Lena will establish Haley Tanner as one of our most exciting literary talents. Haley Tanner holds an MFA from the New School and a BA from Clark University. She lives in Brooklyn. This is her first novel.
