They soon soured on Communism, and, as the Trials began, were arrested. Alexander in fact is really an American who, as a child in the early 1930s, came to Russia with his idealistic parents. It’s a love they can’t declare, however, because Alexander has a dangerous secret-and a dangerous friend. Alexander is courting Dasha, but Tatiana and he are soon in love. When Alexander Belov and Tatiana meet in the summer of 1941, he’s an officer in the Red Army, while she’s a 17-year-old factory worker living in a crowded apartment with her elder sister Dasha, her twin brother Pasha, her parents and grandparents.
Another emotionally compelling tale that celebrates undying love as two young superheroes overcome bombing raids, starvation, and treacherous friends in Leningrad under siege by the Germans.Īs in so many other oversized books of its genre, the lovers here are at the mercy of a plot that strains credulity as it ratchets up the tensions and exploits the passions.
