Georgia, 1917. Stasia, the daughter of a stylish chocolateur, dreams of becoming a dancer in the Paris Opera, but shortly after her 17th birthday, she falls in love with Simon Iachi, an official in the White Army. The revolution that breaks out in October forces the lovers to rush to the altar. Germany, 2006. Stasia's great granddaughter, Niza, has been living in Berlin and fleeing from her family's painful past for years. When Brilka, her 12-year-old niece, runs away from home during a trip to Europe, Niza must find her and take her home. It is during this journey that she decides to face the past and write the history of the last six generations--both for herself and for Brilka. From London to Berlin, Vienna to Tiflis, Saint Petersburg to Moscow, the thrilling destiny of the members of this Georgian family are intertwined with the tumultuous history of the 20th century. The result is one of the most potent, memorable novels in years.
