The stunning success of "On the Banks of the Neva" inspired Irina Odoyevtseva to write a second part of her memoirs, "On the Banks of the Seine," dedicated to the lives of Russian writers in exile. In 1922, Odoyevtseva left Russia and spent most of her life in France, but returned to her homeland in 1987. As in her first book, the author speaks primarily not about herself, but about the people with whom fate brought her together. The book's characters include G. Ivanov, K. Balmont, I. Bunin, I. Severyanin, G. Adamovich, and M. Tsvetaeva. Essentially, the entire Russian Silver Age, which found itself in exile.

Odoyevtseva's book tells the story of a generation of people who saw themselves as the guardians and continuers of Russian literary traditions. Written without unnecessary pathos, easily and engagingly, it allows one to experience the living spirit of those legendary years.
