Around the turn of the twentieth century the middle classes are gaining wealth and influence, while the empires spanning the Balkans and reaching up into southern Russia face movements of every kind: against tyrants and occupiers, against foreign rule, against a world stuck in the past. Amid this ferment a woman chooses her own path, determined to run her life herself. One upheaval follows another, in her life as in the nations around her, and five men, each in his way a figure of his age, mark the stages of her story.
