    Francine Prose - Five Weeks in the Country
    Joe Donahue
    Novelist Francine Prose’s latest, 'Five Weeks in the Country,' turns a strange real-life literary episode into rich, darkly funny fiction. In the summer of 1857, Hans Christian Andersen arrives at Charles Dickens’ country home for what should have been a brief visit. Instead, he stays five excruciating weeks.
