Description

Against a vivid backdrop of history, Danielle Steel tells a compelling tale of love and war, acts of faith and acts of betrayal…and of several generations of women because they journey though years of loss and survival, linked by an indomitable devotion that echoes across time.For the Wittgenstein family, the summertime of 1915 was a period of both prosperity and unease, whilst the guns of war sound in the exact distance. However for eldest daughter Beata, it had been also a summer of awakening. By the glimmering waters of Lake Geneva, the quiet Jewish beauty met a French officer and fell in love. Comprehending that her parents would not accept her marriage to a Catholic, Beata followed her heart anyway.
