The Great Fortune

(1960)
(The first book in the Balkan Trilogy series)
A novel by Olivia Manning

Book Description

Guy and Harriet Pringle, newly married, arrive in Bucharest in the autumn of 1939. The city they find is one of contrasts and rumours, on the edge with wavering loyalties and the tension of war, peopled with an international cast of characters, including the inimitable and eccentric Russian émigré Prince Yakimov.
