AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A story of love and turmoil based on the true story of an unlikely romance in the time of the Russian revolution.

'This is a big novel in every sense - spanning the years of the Russian revolution and set in the ballrooms of Moscow and St Petersburg, the streets of the rioting city, and the POW camps. It is a tale of the love that grew between a young bourgeois woman, Marie, and an older, charming and courageous army general, Alexei.

'Follow the paths of a cast of characters so fully drawn they could have been taken from the pages of history: Maria's brother and the revolutionary he befriends; a peasant woman and the young boy she protects; and Alexie's wife and daughters.

'Carefully researched and beautifully written, this book would sit well alongside the novels of Kate Furnivall.' (Publisher's blurb)
