Summary:
"Odessa, 1931. Marrying the handsome, wealthy Edward Gordon, Daria -- born Dvora Kaganovitch -- has fulfilled her mother's dreams. But a woman's plans are no match for the crushing power of Stalin's repressive Soviet state. To survive, Daria is forced to rely on the kindness of a man who takes pride in his own coarseness. Odessa, 1970. Brilliant young Natasha Crystal is determined to study mathematics. But the Soviets do not allow Jewish students -- even those as brilliant as Natasha -- to attend an institute as prestigious as Odessa University. With her hopes for the future dashed, Natasha must find a new purpose -- one that leads her into the path of a dangerous young man. Brighton Beach, 2019. Zoe Venakovsky, known to her family as Zoya, has worked hard to leave the suffocating streets and small minds of Brighton Beach behind her -- only to find that what she's tried to outrun might just hold her true happiness. Moving from a Siberian gulag to the underground world of Soviet refuseniks to oceanside Brooklyn, The
