Tatiana and Alexander is a powerful story of grief and hope
-- a passionate and epic love story from the Russian-born
author of The Bronze Horseman.
The world at war ...two people in love. Tatiana is eighteen
years old and pregnant when she miraculously escapes
war-torn Leningrad to the West, believing herself to be a
widow. Her husband, Major Alexander Belov, a decorated hero
of the Soviet Union, has been arrested by Stalin's infamous
secret police and is awaiting imminent death as a traitor
and a spy. Tatiana begins her new life in America.
In wartime New York City she finds work, friends and a life
beyond her dreams. However, her grief is inescapable and she
keeps hearing Alexander calling out to her. Meanwhile,
Alexander faces the greatest danger he's ever known. An
American trapped in Russia since adolescence, he has been
serving in the Red Army and posing as a Soviet citizen to
protect himself. For him, Russia's war is not over, and both
victory and defeat will mean certain death.
As the Second World War moves into its spectacular close,
Tatiana and Alexander are surrounded by the ghosts of their
past and each other. They must struggle against destiny and
despair as they find themselves in the fight of their lives.
A master of the historical epic, Paullina Simons takes us on
a journey across continents, time, and the entire breadth of
human emotion, to create a heartrendingly beautiful love
story that will live on long after the final page is turned.
