Description

The best-selling writer of The Madonnas of Leningrad returns with a spectacular story of love, chaos, and commitment collection from the luxurious royal judge of eighteenth century St. Petersburg. Delivered into a Russian group of lower nobility, Xenia, an odd dreamer who cares little for cultural conferences, falls in deep love with a soldier, Andrei and vocalist in the Empressis Imperial choir. Although partner and partner enjoy one another, their joy is overshadowed by the ridiculous demands of life at the royal court and by Xeniais increasing infatuation with having a child—a determined need that's at last fulfilled with the birth of her child.
