In Isadora's Steps

Born in London in 1913, Lily Dikovskaya seems destined to live a dancer's life. Encouraged by comments on young Lily's light-footedness, her Russian-born mother decides to enrol her in Isadora Duncan's newly formed school of dance in Moscow. Once there, talented Lily is constantly singled out by Isadora to demonstrate her famous and distinctive movements to the other pupils. She dances for Lenin and stays with Chiang Kai-shek in Hankow.

Isadora's untimely and bizarre death in 1927 could have put an end to everything. But fortunately, her protv©gv©e Irma takes over and keeps Lily, her favourite pupil, closely by her side on a tour of America. That is, until love of the almighty dollar causes Irma to part company with the young Isadora Duncan dancers. Their new tour of the United States is cancelled, leaving them to make their own way back to Russia and fend for themselves.

Can Lily and the others continue to dance? What sort of life is possible in Moscow under Stalin? Will marriage change everything? And how will Lily survive the ravages of war-torn Russia? After three years in Kazakhstan, she begins the long journey back to find her missing husband and to search for the father she never knew. Her search ends in London, where she began.
