Summary
"In the 1920s, Zoya Andropova, a young refugee from the Soviet Union, finds herself in ... elite all-girls New Jersey boarding school. Having lost her family, her home, and her sense of purpose, Zoya struggles to belong, a task made more difficult by the malice [of] her peers ... When she meets the visiting writer and fellow Russian émigré Leo Orlov--whose books Zoya has privately obsessed over for years--her luck seems to have taken a turn for the better. But she soon discovers that Leo is not the solution to her loneliness ... Grappling with class distinctions, national allegiance, and ethical fidelity--not to mention the powerful magnetism of sex--[this book] investigates how one's identity is formed, irrevocably, through a series of momentary decisions"--Amazon.com
