Emma Ponafidina, née Cochran, an American who married a Russian nobleman, recounts her life in Russia during a tragic period in the country's history. She begins her narrative with details of the daily life of the provincial gentry and peasants, describing their domestic routines, gastronomic preferences, folk customs, and household chores. This prosperous life is disrupted by the outbreak of World War I. Ponafidina recounts her husband's illness, her children's growing up, and her fear for her family amid wartime, revolutionary upheaval, and terror. Expelled from their home, deprived of their property, and realizing that it would be nearly impossible for them to survive under the new regime, Emma Ponafidina and her two sons risk their lives to flee the country.
