Curse of Russia

Om Curse of Russia

In Russia, at night, a despairing young woman of royal blood runs away from her husband's rich estate, carrying her baby in her arms, to a new life as an artist (1896)... In California, on a playground, a 10-year-old girl calls on her cell-phone 911, trying to save her dying grandmother's life (2006)... One hundred-and-ten years separate these two events; one hundred-and-ten years of one Russian family, seen from a child's perspective. In the little girl's eyes is reflected the whole portrait of Russia in the 20th century - the historical moments, life style, traditions, mentality, and fates of its people - like one shiny raindrop can sometimes reflect the whole world. Curse of Russia is a page-turner book, with subtle dramaturgic line and amazing real, living characters.
