March 1913. Moscow is stirring herself to meet the beginning of spring. English painter Frank Reid returns from work one night to find that his wife has gone away; no one knows where or why, or whether she'll ever come back. All Frank knows for sure is that he is now alone and must find someone to care for his three young children. Into Frank's life comes Lisa Ivanovna, a quiet, calming beauty from the country, untroubled to the point of seeming simple. But is she? And why has Frank's bookkeeper, Selwyn Crane, gone to such lengths to bring these two together?… (mere)

"‘Frühlingsanfang’, in dem Penelope Fitzgerald das Leben eines englischen Druckereibetreibers in Moskau von 1913, Vater dreier kleiner Kinder, dem die Frau davongelaufen ist. Diesen kleinen Roman lese ich – zu spät für die Guardian Gruppe – seit zwei, drei Wochenenden mit Freude und empfehle ihn gerne weiter."

I loved this book when I first read it decades ago; on rereading it in 2023, I found myself increasingly irritated by the ridiculous characters and insufficient understanding of what Russia and Russians are like (apart from what could be gleaned from Baedeker, and even there the street names and geography are often confused). I still like her style, but I consider this another in a long series of novels that use Russia as a handy source of exoticism.

Corre el mes de marzo de 1913 y la convulsa ciudad de Moscú se prepara para la llegada de la primavera. En el ambiente se percibe una transformación dramática, pero en el número 22 de la calle Lipka, hogar del impresor inglés Frank Reid, ese cambio será aún más evidente y decisivo. Una noche, tras regresar a su casa, Frank descubre que su esposa se ha marchado de la ciudad llevándose a sus tres hijos. Pronto aparecerá en la vida del impresor una mujer sencilla, una especie de dríade por la que Frank acabará por sentirse hechizado. Y así, acompañado de su contable, Selwyn Crane, devoto seguidor de Tolstói, y de Volodia, un misterioso estudiante que irrumpe en la imprenta con extrañas intenciones, Frank tendrá que dilucidar qué motivos mueven a los demás a comportarse de forma a veces extraña, a veces irracional.

quirky as always, with the compact surprise ending you expect! ( )

To me the book is the essence of why I love novels and wanted to be a writer. I am drawn deep into another world and emerge stronger, happier, surer that humankind is full of wonder and mystery as well as despair, treachery and foolishness. Which reminds me – the last page quite simply takes my breath away.
 
I hope I'm not giving the impression that Ms. Fitzgerald is merely a clever imitator of the masters. She and her characters have their own agenda; its priorities are the timelessness of human nature and the possibility of love. She is that refreshing rarity, a writer who is very modern but not the least bit hip. Ms. Fitzgerald looks into the past, both human and literary, and finds all sorts of things that are surprisingly up to date. Yet as ''The Beginning of Spring'' reaches its triumphant conclusion, you realize that its greatest virtue is perhaps the most old-fashioned of all. It is a lovely novel.
