Summary: 5 Stars
One of my favorite Danielle Steel mini-series. I've watched it several times, and would recommend it to anyone who loves sweeping epic-type movies.
Summary of Danielle Steel's Zoya - Parts 1 & 2
Part I: A child of Russian royalty, Zoya's comfortable world is shattered by the Russian Revolution and the death of her parents. She flees to Paris with her grandmother, struggling to survive her first taste of poverty. There she finds true love with American Capt. Clayton Andrews whom she marries over her grandmother's objections. But the happiness is brief, as the stock market crash of '29 leads to her husband's death. Part II: With the death of Clayton, Zoya begins the struggle to rise from poverty once again while raising her children. Work in a local dress shop proves a perfect match for her talents and business skill. Success as an entrepreneur leads to a meeting with fashion magnate Simon Hirsch. They marry, but this marriage is also fated to end in heartache. Now raising her own grandchild, Zoya makes an emotional pilgrimage back to her homeland.This 1995 NBC television mini-series adaptation of Danielle Steel's Zoya chronicles the life of Russian Countess Zoya Ossupov (Melissa Gilbert) through times of revolution, war, love, wealth, poverty, death and birth. Zoya's saga begins in St. Petersberg, Russia in 1917 when a young Zoya witnesses the execution of her parents during the Russian Revolution. Fleeing to Paris with her Grandmother, the two barely manage to support themselves thanks to Zoya's dancing skills and the Ballet Russe. A handsome American soldier changes their life for the better, but tragedy strikes again in America and Zoya is once again left alone, this time with two young children to support. More sacrifices ensue, but when an apartment fire threatens her children's very lives, Zoya vows never again to let her family be torn apart. A second love with a famous American clothier brings Zoya a much-deserved happiness, but threatens to destroy an already tenuous relationship with her daughter Sasha (Jennifer Garner). Two major themes resonate throughout the production: "tragedy teaches many lessons" and "time is always kind because it gives back to us what we've lost through memories and wisdom." Known for her appealing characters and exciting story lines, Danielle Steel's Zoya is just as compelling on screen as it is in print. --Tami Horiuchi
