Paris: under the shadow of the Great War, émigrés struggle for survival as taxi drivers, seamstresses and ballet dancers. Zoya flees there in poverty - and leaves in glory.
America: a glittering world of flappers, fast cars and furs in the Roaring Twenties; a world of comfort and café society that would come crashing down without warning.
I first read this book about 30 years ago and absolutely adored it. My tastes have changed, and I was afraid I wouldn't like this as much now. I still really enjoyed the book. Zoya is an interesting heroine and leads an interesting life.
Read for the 52 Book Club Challenge.
