While I don't often read books in the romance genre/with a lot of romance plot, I read this after talking about books with my mother-in-law, and she let me borrow this book, as Danielle Steel is her favorite author. Although I wasn't fully expecting to like this novel, just based on genre, I really loved this book. I love that this book is more of a story of Zoya's life, with her loves and romance just a part of her life, rather than a straight up love story (like what I was expecting). While I still don't explicitly like romance being the main plot of a story, I'm glad I gave this book - and author - a chance, and I will certainly read more Danielle Steel novels in the future.

Zoya by Danielle Steel
This book is about Zoya, how she was raised and the war and how she travels with her grandmother to Paris to escape.
She's lost the rest of her family and friends in the war. She has one Faberge egg that was given to her from the Czar.
She knows she can sell it for a fortune if she ever has to. After having sold some of their jewelry she accepted a job as a dancer.
Pain and turmoil overcome them during war time...Her grandmother wants her to marry the cripple man before she dies. Zoya refuses.
Married, moved to US, stock market drop and now she's alone with the children and is back to dancing to survive.
A new life after he dies and she finds herself back to square one again...
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
