Extraordinary biographical novel of Gypsy singer Nadezhda Plevitskaya (1884 - 1940) who rose from the camps to become the inspiration of composers Serguey Rakhmaninoff and Yigor Stravinsky.

For the first time told in full, this historical novel, or work of narrative history, offers an insight into the life of a revered performer who fell from grace in exile. The book was written to entertain, astound, and enjoy. 'LA PLEVITSKAYA' is meant for a readership between 12 and 82 and offers an insight into the time of Tsarist Russia which saw so many leave for far away shores. It contains a glossary and a relationship diagram how Plevitskaya related to the movers and shakers in her lifetime.
