The Orient Express hurtles towards the promised land, and Banine is
free for the first time in her life. She has fled her ruined
homeland and unhappy forced marriage for a dazzling new future in
Paris. Now she cuts her hair, wears short skirts, mingles with
Russian emigres, Spanish artists, writers and bohemians in the
1920's beau monde - and even contemplates love. But soon she finds
that freedom brings its own complications. As her family's money
runs out, she becomes a fashion model to survive. And when a
glamorous figure from her past returns, life is thrown further into
doubt. Banine has always been swept along by the forces of history.
Can she keep up with them now? Told with vivacious wit and a lust
for life, this companion to Days in the Caucasus is a bittersweet
portrayal of youthful dreams, and the elusive search for happiness.
