Description
Six romances, one revolution, the story of the century.
At the start of the twentieth century, on the edge of the Russian Empire, a family prospers. It owes its success to a delicious chocolate recipe, passed down the generations with great solemnity and caution. A caution which is justified: this is a recipe for ecstasy that carries a very bitter aftertaste ...
War & Peace meets The House of the Spirits in this internationally-bestselling and immersive epic tale of seven generations from one charismatic Georgian family, from before the Russian Revolution to after the fall of the Soviet Union.
