Omtale fra forlaget

GRANNY DAN
She was the cherished grandmother who sang songs in Russian, loved to roller-skate, and spoke little of her past. But when Granny Dan died, all that remained was a box wrapped in brown paper, tied with a string. Inside, an old pair of satin toe shoes, a gold locket, and a stack of letters tied with ribbon. It was her legacy, waiting to be discovered by the granddaughter who loved her but never really knew her. It was a story waiting to be told..
The year was 1902. A new century was dawning as a motherless young girl arrived at a ballet school in St.Petersburg, Russia, at the age of seven. By age seventeen, Danina Petroskova had become a great ballerina, a favourite of the Czar and Czarina. But events both near and far away shook the ground upon which she danced. A war, an extraordinary man, and a devastating illness altered the course of her life. And when revolution shattered Russia, Danina Pertoskova was forced to make a heartbreaking choice - as the world around her was about to change forever.
Granny Dan is about the magic of history. In it, Danielle Steel reminds us how little we know of those who came before us - and how, if we could only glimpse into their early lives, we could learn so much. For in this extraordinary novel, a simple box, filled with mementos, offers the greatest legacy of all: an unexpected gift of a life transformed, a long-forgotten history of youth and beauty, love and dreams.
