"It traces a woman through a single day, but that day is simultaneously the most vividly wonderful and ultimately terrible of her life. She is an English widow who becomes mesmerised by the almost suicidally reckless gambling of a failed Polish diplomat one evening in Monte Carlo. From this first spark of interest, she is drawn into his troubled, unstable life."{{cite web|first=James |last=Morrison |url=http://www.bookslut.com/small_but_perfectly_formed/2005_02_004346.php |title=Stefan Zweig |publisher=Bookslut |date=2014-03-10 |access-date=2014-04-06}}
