From Barnes & NobleIn a sweeping narrative reminiscent of the epic classic Dr. Zhivago comes a love story that takes place in war-torn Russia during World War II. Named for a statue in Red Square, The Bronze Horseman is a perfect blend of romance, suspense, and intrigue, guaranteed to transport readers to another place and time. The Metanov family, including sisters Tatiana and Dasha, are already eking out a meager existence in recession-stricken Leningrad, when their lives are further disrupted by the forces of war. To Tatiana the fighting brings great fear, but also the man of her dreams -- an officer in the Red Army named Alexander. But these two lovers are as star-crossed as Russia herself, their destinies forged by secrecy, tragedy, and a set of circumstances that makes their shared love a force they can neither deny nor embrace.
