Historical
St. Petersburg, 1911: Inna Feldman has fled the pogroms of
the south to take refuge with distant relatives in Russia's
capital city. Welcomed by the flamboyant Leman family, she
is apprenticed into their violin-making workshop. She feels
instantly at home in their bohemian circle, but revolution
is in the air, and as society begins to fracture, she is
forced to choose between her heart and her head. She loves
her brooding cousin, Yasha, but he is wild, destructive and
devoted to revolution; Horace Wallick, an Englishman who
makes precious Faberge creations, is older and promises
security and respectability. And, like many others, she is
drawn to the mysterious, charismatic figure beginning to
make a name for himself in the city: Rasputin. As the
rebellion descends into anarchy and bloodshed, a commission
to repair a priceless Stradivarius violin offers Inna a
means of escape. But which man will she choose to take with
her? And is it already too late? A magical and passionate
story steeped in history and intrigue, Vanora Bennett's
Midnight in St. Petersburg is an extraordinary novel
of music, politics, and the toll that revolution exacts on
the human heart.
