One woman's odyssey through a century of turmoil ...St Petersburg: one famous night of violence in the October Revolution ends the lavish life of the Romanov court forever ? shattering the dreams of young Countess Zoya Ossupov. Paris: under the shadow of the Great War, emigres struggle for survival as taxi drivers, seamstresses and ballet dancers. Zoya flees there in poverty ? and leaves in glory.

Zoya, living through it all, faces challenges and triumphs with an indomitable spirit. In Zoya, Danielle Steel has created a true heroine through masterful storytelling.

I completely agree with VickiLN - this story was incredible. All the elements of family, friendship, love, perseverance and ambition were beautifully depicted throughout. This is one of Danielle Steel's very best!

Loved It
I usually don't read books like this, and I can't remember why I decided to read this one. But I'm so glad I did. I first read this book over 20 yrs ago and it's still my favorite. It's a little long, the paperback is 500 pages, but it is well worth the time spent. From the very beginning this book had me hooked. It was never boring and I found it hard to put down. I laughed, cried and was in awe of this very strong lady who took whatever life gave her and kept going!
