Russian by birth Grigori has carried to adulthood beliefs about his birth parents that have made even his career choice inevitable. Now, a widower, he is at a crossroads. Drew, with her own seeming failed past, works for an auction house that has just acquired the jewelry collection of a once famous Russian ballerina who defected to the West in the 1950s. Kalotay takes us into the lives of three people looking for answers. What they find will surprise them?and even more, those of us along for the reading. Who wouldn?t like a book with lovely jewelry, ballet, intrigue and secrets? Plus, it?s a love story?several people?s love stories. Beautiful.
