While pretty predictable, the characters came alive for me and I enjoyed the relationships. Anna Preston discovers that she isn't really alone in the world, her grandfather is still alive and he wants to engage her in a relationship. His friend who introduces her to a new world and a new life is Alex Kent, a Russian Emigree who has several secrets and his relationship with other people influences the course of their relationship.
It seemed to be a story hung on some concepts rather than flowing well. Still I found it very readable
