From the publisher:

A Parisian fan and unrecognised young poet arrives in a county town in the Slobozhanshchyna, having been offered a teaching position at a lyceum founded by a wealthy sugar producer. Instead of the expected boredom in a provincial hole, Auguste Givonte meets a multicultural community of teachers, inventive and witty students, amazing tea drinking customs, and, of course, love.
