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.
