The Great Fortune

'A fantastically tart and readable account of life in eastern Europe at the start of the war' Sarah Waters

'Wonderfully entertaining' Observer

Magnificent...full of wit, sharp insight and vivid description. * The Times *

So glittering is the overall parade ... and so entertaining the surface that the trilogy remains excitingly vivid; it amuses, it diverts and it informs, and to do these things so elegantly is no small achievement * Sunday Times *

A delicate, tough, mesmerising epic that grabs you by the hand and takes you straight into war, flight, and a complex and vulnerable young marriage -- Louisa Young
