A Russian Journey

I have loved this book from the first time I read it, in 1992. The character of Asya is facinating to me; so well developped, so enhancing. She lingers in your mind long after the book is finished. It is her story, from her childhood to old age, and the twists and turns that he life takes. She is born at he turn of the century, and lives to the 1990s. Two world wars, lives and loves losts, this is a facinating read.
