Description
Over the course of a turbulent twentieth century, six generations of a Georgian family are shaped by love, ambition, betrayal, and the upheavals of history. From the final days of the Russian Empire through revolution, Stalinism, war, and the collapse of the Soviet Union, private destinies become inseparable from the forces transforming a nation and a continent. At the heart of the family saga lies a legacy of passion and suffering—and the question of what can be passed on, resisted, or finally redeemed. Expansive, intimate, and richly atmospheric, the novel explores memory, identity, political power, and the enduring bonds between generations.
