The Bronze Horseman

A magnificent epic of love, war and Russia from the international bestselli ng author of TULLY and ROAD TO PARADISE Leningrad 1941: the white nights of summer illuminate a city of fallen grandeur whose palaces and avenues spea k of a different age, when Leningrad was known as St Petersburg. Two sister s, Tatiana and Dasha, share the same bed, living in one room with their bro ther and parents. The routine of their hard impoverished life is shattered on 22 June 1941 when Hitler invades Russia. For the Metanov family, for Len ingrad and particularly for Tatiana, life will never be the same again. On that fateful day, Tatiana meets a brash young man named Alexander. The fami ly suffers as Hitler's army advances on Leningrad, and the Russian winter c loses in. With bombs falling and the city under siege, Tatiana and Alexande r are drawn inexorably to each other, but theirs is a love that could tear Tatiana's family apart, and at its heart lies a secret that could mean deat h to anyone who hears it. Confronted on the one hand by Hitler's vast war m achine, and on the other by a Soviet system determined to crush the human s pirit, Tatiana and Alexander are pitted against the very tide of history, a t a turning point in the century that made the modern world.
