Natasha, the granddaughter, lives in New York City, with her newborn and the father whose friend is also living with them. Natasha is a struggling actor and is struggling with life as a new mother. She and Larissa Skype on a regular basis. There is a special bond between the two women.
The book is told is alternating chapters of Larissa's story of the war and Natasha's life in NYC. I especially loved the bonds of their relationship and that Larissa seemed to completely understand the granddaughter. Larissa's marriage is also a vital part of the book.
A bit slow at first as I was much more interested in the historical sections, but the story unwound beautifully as Larissa makes a trip to NYC and has an opportunity to see her own experience unfold through a one-woman performance by Natasha. Although their times and circumstances were far different, the women had many of the same struggles.
