The Hermitage, the debut novel from French author and playwright Marie Bronsard, is a compelling and heartbreaking soliloquy, a farewell to a lover long gone and to the self-imposed exile undertaken by the woman he left behind. On her last night of isolation, the woman looks back at the ten years she has spent as a recluse, reexamining and recording her feelings of tragedy and loss in a final letter to the lover.
