The novel “Immortelle” by the famous American writer Belva Plain can undoubtedly be called a good old family saga. This bright, fascinating book tells the story of the life of the main character Anna from birth to old age. The author either immerses the reader in the plot, making him practically a character, or alienates him, forcing him to look at events from the outside.

But then old age sets in and the husband dies. Are Anna and her first lover destined to finally be together?..
