About This Item
Paperback / softback. New. In <em>Cape of Storms</em>, Nina Berberova portrays a very specific generationââone born in Russia, displaced by the Revolution, and trying to adapt to a new home, Paris. Three sistersââDasha, Sonia, and Zaiââshare the same father, Tiagen, an attractive, weak-willed, womanizing White Russian, but each thinks differently about her inner world of beliefs and aspirations, and consequently each follows a different path. Dasha marries and leaves for a bourgeois expatriate life in colonial Africa. Zai, the youngest, and an appealing adolescent, flirts with becoming an actress or a poet. Sonia, the middle daughter, completes a university degree but falls victim to a shocking tragedy. <em>Cape of Storms</em> is a shattering book that opens with a hair-raising scene in which Dasha witnesses her motherâs murder at the hands of Bolshevik thugs, and ends with the Blitzkrieg sweeping toward Paris. It is unparalleled in Berberovaâs work for its many shifts of mood and viewpoint and secures the authorâs place as âChekhovâs most vital inheritorâ (<em>Boston Review</em>).
