Set in three continents, over an eighty-year span, this is a story of
loss, guilt, shame, deception, love and the ultimate struggle for
survival. Unable to accept his lot in life, in the midst of the desolate
and desperate backdrop of Siberia, Stefan Jablonski plunges into a
destructive spiral of betrayal and deceit. The silver pocket watch,
given to him during his immigrant days in America, and always worn close
to his heart, gives him comfort; but what secret link does it have with
the past and why will it play such a prolific role in the life of his
daughter, Magdallena, and that of future generations? How will the past,
present and future interlink and how will time set the fate of
generations?
