used books,books, These recollections, written in an engaging, vivid voice, transport the reader to a variety of worlds. We begin with a young girl, the daughter of Russian émigrés, growing up in wartime Shanghai. We meet her at her French school, encounter the international community of the city, follow her in her various adventures until her subsequent move with her family to Vancouver, Bristish Columbia, Canada. In a swiftly paced narrative written with vital colloquial directness, we observe a career that embraces periods of study at the University of British Columbia, at the Serbonne in Paris, and travels in Europe. We watch the growth of a considerable musical talent as a singer. We also note a passionate commitment to and love of all things Russian... Observations on sexual attraction from childhood to adulthood, domestic arrangements of courtship and marriage and divorce are revealed, laced with both humor and poignancy. These are examined, as is much else, from a feminist perspective. Reflections on personal mental health, a demystification of psychiatric illness with an emphasis on the therapeutic and positive, provide an added dimension to the book. Written in a fluent accesible style, the writer describes European travel, travels in Russia, and in the U.S. desert. These accounts, interspersed with philosophical observations, take you from a home in Vancouver to one in Las Vegas. They bring each milieu to life and never fail to hold the reader's interest.
