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?\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Harper Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Beginning of Spring | Penelope Fitzgerald | Paperback | 9780544484115 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1715835","offer_id":50902934421762,"sku":"1715835","price":32.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71cMiqmYiYL.jpg?v=1793207545","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/beginning-of-spring","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
