About this listen

It is 1929. The world is about to change.

Finn Evans is a successful Boston banker harboring a secret that threatens to unravel his carefully constructed idyllic life. Isabelle Lazar, a young Ukrainian farm woman, endures unspeakable hardships in her homeland as she fights to save her family from the Soviet Union's iron grip. Barely escaping the Terror-Famine, she washes up alone on America's distant shores.

Fate throws Finn and Isabelle together just as the stock market crash causes a devastating collapse of his world. Amid the Great Depression and the trials of their new lives, an undeniable connection grows between them that they both must hide.

As their intertwined destinies hang in the balance, they discover that even those who have lost everything still have something left to lose.

…yet tragic. Very pertinent considering the war and ‘creeping communism’ still affecting a Ukrainian population that just want to be left alone. A beautifully crafted story with so much sadness but pockets of happiness.
Each character is so well written I found myself frustrated at times and really disliking one (no spoilers) in particular, to the point where I eagerly awaited their demise!
Much recommended.

Wonderful story…
