![]() Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. I find some of her books to be hit-or-miss, but I absolutely loved this one. A Russian Countess, a few wars, it was all very well done. ( ![]() ZOYA, PRIMA DEL ZAR, TRAS LA MUERTE DE SUS PADRES EN LA REVOLUCIÓN DE OCTUBRE, HUYE CON SU ABUELA INSTALÁNDOSE EN PARÍS DURANTE LA GRAN GUERRA, PARA SUBSISTIR BAILA EN EL BALLET DE DIAGHILEU, CASADA CON CLAYTON, RICO AMERICANO, VIVE EN NUEVA YORK, Y EN EL CRACK DE LA BOLSA PIERDE SU FORTUNA Y QUEDA VIUDA. TRABAJA EN UNA BOUTIQUE ELEGANTE Y MAS TARDE SE CASA CON SIMON, MILLONARIO DEL MUNDO DE LA MODA, PONE SU PROPIO ESTABLECIMIENTO Y TRIUNFA PLENAMENTE. I really loved the characters in this story, Zoya stole my heart. I read it twice, by accident. I read it years ago and then picked it up at the library again last year. I was nearly through it when I realized why the characters were so familiar. I do that often. Bad memory? Maybe. This was my last Danielle Steel book, after being an avid fan and reader for years. With Zoya, however, I reached the "how-much-more-can-happen-to-one-person" level once and for all. Too much negative without the balance of positive throughout the book made it hard to swallow for me. Perhaps that's the point of her books. Maybe I just finally outgrew the Steel Formula. Night of Russian Rev. 20's t/ stock market crash Great Depression - struggle to go on light - but good. Against the backdrop of the Russian Revolution and World War I Europe, Zoya, young cousin to the Tsar, flees St. Petersburg to Paris to find safety. Her entire world forever changed, she faces hard times and joins the Ballet Russe in Paris. And then, when life is kind to her, Zoya moves on to a new and glittering life in New York. The days of ease are all too brief as the Depression strikes, and she loses everything yet again. It is her career, and the man she meets in the course of it, which ultimately save her, as she rebuilds her life through the war years and beyond. And it is her family that comes to mean everything to her. From the roaring twenties to the 1980's, Zoya remains a rare and spirited woman whose legacy will live on.
