She can never forget her past, or forgive...
When Severine Kassel is asked to authenticate some exquisite Byzantine pearls loaned to the British Museum, she shocks everyone by claiming they belong to her family.

Жизненный путь главной героини, чье детство и юность пришлись на Вторую мировую войну, может служить олицетворением целого поколения. Ей пришлось столкнуться с множеством ужасов и болью от потерь самых близких ей людей. Но даже спустя столько лет прошлое не отпускает ее …. Будет ли зло наказано, и обретет ли счастье главное героиня – читателям предстоит узнать в самом конце этой истории. Помимо своего достаточно увлекательного и очень эмоционального сюжета, благодаря своим необычайно подробным описаниям эта книга может служить прекрасным путеводителем по европейским странам и городам, в которых происходит действие, - здесь можно и прогуляться по узким уличкам еще довоенной Праги, и побывать в модных Парижских и Британских ресторанах 1960-х, посетить музеи того времени и т.д.
