What is Invitation to a Bonfire : a Novel about?

The seductive story of a dangerous love triangle, inspired by the infamous Nabokov marriage, with a spellbinding psychological thriller at its core. In the 1920s, Zoya Andropova, a young refugee from the Soviet Union, finds herself in the alien landscape of an elite all-girls New Jersey boarding school. Having lost her family, her home, and her sense of purpose, Zoya struggles to belong, a task made more difficult by the malice her peers heap on scholarship students and her new country's paranoia about Russian spies. Grappling with class distinctions, national allegiance, and ethical fidelity - not to mention the powerful magnetism of sex - Invitation to a Bonfire investigates how one's identity is formed, irrevocably, through a series of momentary decisions, including how to survive, who to love, and whether to pay the complicated price of happiness."Adrienne Celt’s second novel, Invitation to a Bonfire, is a ravishing tale of love, loss, desire and betrayal... The author pays homage to Nabokov with an exhibition of stylistic virtuosity — but not without a woman’s subversion... at once a gripping psychological thriller and a finely crafted work of literature. A strung-wire tension
