A Short Time in Luxembourg

by Anne Macdonald

Overview

A Short Time in Luxembourg is an insightful novel depicting the conflicts of the boomer generation's lost loves and blind ambitions. As Anna Haggarty reaches the pinnacle of the academic career, a cold marriage to a plagiarizing professor and a troubled son chain her to her past. Enter Jules Randall, a rough-edged musician whom she met while traveling in Luxembourg twenty years earlier. With his free spirit, determination and a book of poetry they had once shared, Jules re-enters Anna's life, testing her loyalties and unmasking her own social prejudices. Pursuing the murder of a friend and fellow poet, Jules' suspicions of Anna's husband lead the three of them down a path of self-destruction none could have foreseen during that short time in Luxembourg.

About the Author

I grew up in Southern California, graduated with a degree in History from U.C. Berkeley, moved to Colorado for a M.A. in History, then to Seattle for my MLS. Yes, I'm also a business librarian, conducting research for high tech startup and working as a counselor for the local Small Business Development Center (thus, the Librarian Manifesto under construction on this website). On a completely different front, I'll be finishing my diploma in Irish Studies from the National University of Ireland in Galway and Regis University in Denver. My nonfiction includes foreign investment in the American and Canadian West 1870-1914, and the impact of public policy on literature--which circles around to long-neglected Maria Edgeworth and the 19th Irish literature question.
