A multi-layered love story begins in Paris in 1934 and has repercussions that lead Alexei Gismondi to New York in 1980 on a search for the woman who holds the key to the mystery that obsesses him.
About the Publisher
The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
