LONGLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE
AND WINNER OF THE WARWICK PRIZE FOR WOMEN IN TRANSLATION
AN OBSERVER BOOK OF THE YEAR
The bestselling sensation that UK booksellers
are calling this generation's War and Peace.
Six romances, one revolution, the story of
the century.
At the start of the twentieth century, on the
edge of the Russian Empire, a family prospers, thanks to a recipe for hot
chocolate that bewitches its drinkers. But this chocolate carries a bitter - some
say cursed - aftertaste ...
Tumbling through the years, across vast
expanses of longing and loss, witness generation after generation of this
remarkable family as they struggle and thrive, divide and reunite, and live and
die in the red century.
