"Opening in a small village on the Chinese-Russian border under Japanese occupation in the final days of World War II, White Gardenia tells the story of a White Russian mother and daughter, separated by war.

From the glamorous nightclubs of Shanghai to the harshness of the Siberian wasteland; from a desolate island in the South China Sea to a new life in postwar Australia; and finally to Cold War Moscow, White Gardenia sweeps across cultures and continents.

Both mother and daughter must make sacrifices to survive. But is the price of survival too high? Most importantly of all, can they ever find each other again?"

I am not much into historic saga type but this one intrigued me. A truly sweeping saga that made me happy, angry, shocked.....well you get the idea. I will pass this one on to a lady at work who reads "womens" fiction, I think she will enjoy it to.
