520    A sweeping family saga and love story that offers a vivid 
       and unique portrayal of life in war-torn 1941 Bucharest 
       and life behind the Iron Curtain during the Soviet Union 
       occupation--perfect for fans of Lilac Girls and Sarah's 
       Key . On a freezing night in January 1941, a little Jewish
       girl is found on the steps of an apartment building in 
       Bucharest. With Romania recently allied with the Nazis, 
       the Jewish population is in grave danger, undergoing 
       increasingly violent persecution. The girl is placed in an
       orphanage and eventually adopted by a wealthy childless 
       couple who name her Natalia. As she assimilates into her 
       new life, she all but forgets the parents who were forced 
       to leave her behind. They are even further from her mind 
       when Romania falls under Soviet occupation. Yet, as 
       Natalia comes of age in a bleak and hopeless world, traces
       of her identity pierce the surface of her everyday life, 
       leading gradually to a discovery that will change her 
       destiny. She has a secret crush on Victor, an intense 
       young man who as an impoverished student befriended her 
       family long ago. Years later, when Natalia is in her early
       twenties and working at a warehouse packing fruit, she and
       Victor, now an important official in the Communist regime,
       cross paths again. This time they are fatefully drawn into
       a passionate affair despite the obstacles swirling around 
       them and Victor's dark secrets. When Natalia is suddenly 
       offered a one-time chance at freedom, Victor is determined
       to help her escape, even if it means losing her. Natalia 
       must make an agonizing decision: remain in Bucharest with 
       her beloved adoptive parents and the man she has come to 
       love, or seize the chance to finally live life on her own 
       terms, and to confront the painful enigma of her past.
