I take self-improvement books with a large grain of salt. Still, an enjoyable read.

Крадецът на праскови or The Peach Thief in English, is a Bulgarian roman about the doomed relationship between a colonel's wife and a prisoner of war.

The main part of the story is told in flashbacks to the World War I in Veliko Turnovo in Bulgaria. The story itself is straightforward but it is an entertaining read. The author does a fine job of describing the atmosphere of Bulgaria in that time, and it's a beautifully written book.
