Evacuated from Warsaw, at the start of the Second World War, Anna is caught between Nazi air raids and the Russian invasion of Poland. After joining the Polish Resistance, she is arrested by the Soviet Secret Police, interrogated and sentenced to hard labour in Siberia. Saved on occasions, by her artistic ability, Anna escapes, first from the labour camp and later from a collective farm, where she has been a soap-maker and has received an offer of marriage from an Uzbek. Fresh dangers await her as she makes her way to Iran. She meets many fascinating characters along the way, gaining an insight into the hidden complexities of war.
