Summary
The year was 1902. A new century was dawning as a motherless girl arrived at a ballet school in St. Petersburg, Russia, at the age of seven. By age seventeen, Danina Petroskova had become a great ballerina, a favorite of the Czar and Czarina, who welcomed her into the heart of the Imperial family. But events both near and far away shook the ground upon which she danced. A war, an extraordinary man, and a devastating illness altered the course of her life. And when revolution shattered Russia, Danina Petroskova was forced to make a heartbreaking choice - as the world around her was about to change forever.

Granny Dan Wonderful Story!!
Wow, this was a special story and so glad that I dove in and tried it. The Narration was excellent, Lewis Arlt
mostly and Patrice Donnell, at the beginning and the end. This is a very important part of any story. I also check the speed of the narration. Most stories are the same, but once in a while I find one that is too fast to be comfortable for me. Will click the setting back one and check it out. A wonderful option we have on this Audible.
Highly recommend this read, did not realize that it was a shorter than usual Danielle Steel books. I did have many tears over the loving story of this very special Russian setting. Different for me to learn about. Very well described, Danielle Steele. The story was so well told with not a boring continual voice. Felt like I was right there as he was reading. Never boring at all.
When it came to the end I had to stop and go back and listen to it over and over to get all the details.
This story felt like it was true and if not, how did she get all the details to pull it all together. Thank you Danielle, this was one I was so glad to have listened to. I think I will I will play it a second time in a little while. Sometimes I pick up something that I might have missed the first time. Loved the length of this one. Would like to know when this was published as I have not found this date as I would like to listen to some of her very early books. If someone is able to tell me how to find a listing of her books in order of publishing would be glad to have it. There must be some way to check out these details.

A tender story of love in Russia and the ravages of war. Both WWI and revolutionary war in Russia.
