A love story reaching from the present day to the Second World War battle of Stalingrad.
A magnificent epic of love, war and Russia from the international bestselling author of TULLY and ROAD TO PARADISE Leningrad 1941: the white nights of summer illuminate a city of fallen grandeur whose palaces and avenues speak of a different age, when Leningrad was known as St Petersburg. Two sisters, Tatiana and Dasha, share the same bed, living in one room with their brother and parents. The routine of their hard impoverished life is shattered on 22 June 1941 when Hitler invades Russia. For the Metanov family, for Leningrad and particularly for Tatiana, life will never be the same again. On that fateful day, Tatiana meets a brash young man named Alexander. The family suffers as Hitler's army advances on Leningrad, and the Russian winter closes in. With bombs falling and the city under siege, Tatiana and Alexander are drawn inexorably to each other, but theirs is a love that could tear Tatiana's family apart, and at its heart lies a secret that could mean death to anyone who hears it. Confronted on the one hand by Hitler's vast war machine, and on the other by a Soviet system determined to crush the human spirit, Tatiana and Alexander are pitted against the very tide of history, at a turning point in the century that made the modern world. / This extremely moving novel draws on the experiences of the author's own family during the Siege of Leningrad / Now repackaged with all of Paullina's backlist in stunning new style / Paullina's most recent novel, ROAD TO PARADISE, reached number three in Australia and went straight to number one in New Zealand / Competition: Jodi Picoult

Description
Set against the dramatic and tumultuous backdrop of Leningrad in 1941, during the peak of Hitler's invasion of Russia, The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons is an evocative tale of love, sacrifice, and resilience. The story follows Tatiana Metanova, a young and spirited Russian girl, whose life is irrevocably changed when she meets Alexander Belov, a daring and mysterious Red Army officer.
As her city is besieged and her family struggles under the weight of war, Tatiana finds herself irresistibly drawn to Alexander. Despite the dangers that surround them, their connection deepens into a passionate love affair. However, their love is fraught with challenges and secrets that could not only tear Tatiana’s family apart but also threaten their very lives. The clandestine nature of their relationship harbours a secret with the power to destroy them if uncovered.
In this powerful and poignant narrative, Simons explores complex themes of devotion, bravery, and the human spirit's capacity to endure even the most harrowing circumstances. The Bronze Horseman offers readers a richly detailed and immersive experience of a city under siege, alongside a heart-rending love story that defies the odds.
Perfect for fans of historical fiction and epic romances, Paullina Simons crafts an unforgettable journey of love and survival, making The Bronze Horseman a compelling read from start to finish.
