The great Russian composer's first wife, Lina Kodina-Prokofieva, lived a long life, spanning almost a century. She spent twenty years with Prokofiev in America, Europe, and then the Soviet Union, interacting with Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, Horowitz and Toscanini, Diaghilev and Balmont, Picasso and Matisse, Meyerhold and Eisenstein… She experienced family breakdown, arrest, prison, and Soviet labor camps. She was an outstanding figure, worthy of her brilliant husband. However, until her very last years, we knew nothing about her: Soviet censorship erased Lina from both Prokofiev's life and from history.

Valentina Chemberdzhi, who knew the entire Prokofiev family well, has written a documentary novel based on previously unpublished archival material.
