Sándor Márai was born in Kassa, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in , and died in San Diego, California, in Esther's Inheritance by Marai, Sandor. Show. Marai lets the reader know early on what's going to happen. The suspense comes from the way that it happens. ESTHER'S INHERITANCE has much in common with EMBERS in that both stories concern the arrival after many years of a person who was significant in the protagonist's past. Esther once loved a man named Lajos, who was a scoundrel. ESTHER'S INHERITANCE is the fourth of Marai's novels to be translated into English and it further builds the case for Marai as a superb writer of fiction, perhaps even one of the 20th Century's best. Yet to me there is something unsatisfactory about ESTHER'S INHERITANCE.
