Summary "Qui est Ilona Serginski ? Qui est cette vieille femme, que sa petite-fille, Eva, croit si bien connaître, et qui vit recluse dans une maison de retraite bretonne ? Aux portes de la mort, Ilona se met à parler une langue inconnue et réclame un prêtre pour confesser les crimes d'une existence dont personne n'a démêlé les secrets. D'où vient-elle vraiment et quelle est son histoire? Pour y répondre, il faudra plonger dans les replis de la tragédie soviétique et suivre la lignée d'Ilona, depuis les remous de la guerre civile en 1917 jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Fille adorée d'un assassin, elle deviendra l'idole prostituée d'un ogre mafieux puis la mère sacrifiée d'une enfant trop brillante. Ilona est l'emblème d'un siècle passionné et violent qui a fait de sa vie un destin." -- Cover
"Who is Ilona Serginski? Who is this old woman, who her granddaughter, Eva, believes she knows so well, and who lives as a recluse in a Breton retirement home? On the brink of death, Ilona begins to speak an unknown language and calls for a priest to confess the crimes of an existence no one has unraveled the secrets of. Where does it really come from and what is its history? To answer, it will be necessary to plunge into the folds of the Soviet history and to follow the line of Ilona, since the turmoil of the civil war in 1917 until today. Daughter adored by an assassin, she will become the prostitute idol of a mafia ogre and then the sacrificed mother of an overly bright child. Ilona is the symbol of a passionate and violent century that has made her life a destiny." -- Cataloger's translation of the synopsis on the cover.
