Mine, in contrast, was extremely rich but not 'respectable' at all...This is the extraordinary memoir of an 'odd, rich, exotic' childhood - of growing up in Azerbaijan in the turbulent early twentieth century, caught between East and West, tradition and modernity.Banine remembers her luxurious home, with endless feasts of sweets and fruit; her beloved, flaxen-haired German governess; her imperious, swearing, strict Muslim grandmother; her bickering, poker-playing, chain-smoking relatives. She recalls how the Bolsheviks came, and they lost everything. How, amid revolution and bloodshed, she fell passionately in love, only to be forced into marriage with a man she loathed- until the chance of escape arrived.By turns gossipy and romantic, wry and moving, Days in the Caucasus is a coming-of-age story and a portrait of a vanished world, and of how the past haunts us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Banine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44214001139772,"sku":"9781782274896","price":1271.25,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/Days-in-the-Caucasus.jpg?v=1776718643","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/days-in-the-caucasus","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
