Beschreibung des Verlags
This story describes the dramatic lives of Prince Dmitri Korolev and his family caught up in the upheavals of European revolution and war. They flee Russia in 1919, escape to Switzerland and then Paris, but, with the Second World War, they come under further pressure from the Communist police. The author worked for many years in Paris as a foreign correspondent and wrote several novels including "Tanamera", "A Farewell to France", "A Woman of Cairo" and "The Other Side of Paradise".
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In ``a sweeping saga'' that details the uneven fortunes of an aristocratic Russian family and relies on some wizened plot lines, Barber, ``with a fine eye for period detail, tells a lively and absorbing story,'' observed PW.
