Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In "a sweeping saga" that details the uneven fortunes of an aristocratic Russian family and relies on some wizened plot lines, Barber, "with a fine eye for period detail, tells a lively and absorbing story," observed PW.

Good treat !,
By A Customer
This review is from: Weeping and the Laughter (Mass Market Paperback)
My family had the pleasure of reading this book. . It is much more than a WWII story or Romance. The characters are outstanding, and the plot engaging. We really cry... This is a BIG story. I wish I had a copy to re-read . I loaned it out and never got it back...If you ever come across a copy, don't hesitate to read it. It's so real and captivated.
