SYNOPSIS: In 1920, the daughter of a Russian baron falls in love with a young British writer. Her immigrant father forbids her to marry an Englishman, but not because the young man is an orphan or because they are political exiles in his country, disinherited by the Soviet Revolution of 1917. Her family's reasons are far more complicated than an Oxford graduate of history could comprehend. However, after he offers her to elope, something else happens and life takes its own course of action. (Illustrated by the author.) NOTE from the publisher: This is the 3rd and final edition, now with new illustrations. If you buy it "used" or from reseller (other than directly from Amazon or Barnes & Noble), it might not match what you see in the "look inside" feature and the text might have typos. Therefore, all previous editions are discontinued. The eBook is not illustrated to save on price and file size (1 MB vs. 300 MB).
