«El crimen de Olga Arbélina» is the novel by Andreï Makine, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
In 1947, a crime shakes a village near Paris: by the river, a dying man appears and, dazed, Olga Arbélina, an exiled Russian aristocrat working as a librarian. The investigation reveals her flight from the Bolshevik Revolution, exile, abandonment by her husband, and a hemophiliac son, but her life still holds a secret.
Published in 2001 in the Andanzas collection (number 453). Spanish translation by José Escué; original title: Le crime d'Olga Arbélina.
For readers of literary and historical fiction interested in Russian emigration in France and stories with a mystery backdrop.
