To get to the heart of a story
you have to go back to the beginning:
to the first days of revolution in Russia,
to a beautiful girl,
to her agonizing choice,
and to the moment her life is changed for ever.
Winter, 1916: In St Petersburg, snow is falling in a country on the brink of revolution. Outside the Smolny Institute for Noble Young Ladies, an English governess is waiting for her young charge to be released from school. But so are the Tsar's secret police...
Beautiful, rich and headstrong, Sashenka Zeitlin is just sixteen. As her mother parties with Rasputin and her dissolute friends, Sashenka slips into the frozen night to play her role in a dangerous game of conspiracy and seduction.
Twenty years on, Sashenka has a powerful husband and two children.Around her, people are disappearing though her own family is safe.But she's about to embark on a forbidden love affair which will have devastating consequences.
Sashenka's story lies hidden for half a century, until a young historian goes deep into Stalin's private archives and uncovers a heartbreaking tale of passion and betrayal, savage cruelty and unexpected heroism - and of a woman forced to make an unbearable choice ...
