Divorce à Buda, by Sandor Marai

This book has many similarities to Embers in that it's also the story of a love triangle with two men in love with the same woman, and the story is told in the form of a conversation between the two men, old friends, after the woman has died. While it lacks the theatrical setting and characters of Embers its storyline has an otherworldly side to it in the idea of a divine pattern thwarted by chance and the long term effects of decisions that seemed inconsequential at the time they were made.

I think Embers is better, but this was pretty good too.
