A captivating and heart breaking story during the Russian Revolution. The author wrote a story that had me on tenterhooks even though I knew what lay ahead historically. What kept me reading was her way of weaving the historical aspects of the Revolution without sounding like a text book and integrating an intense story of family and love.
Sophia and Nikolai had a sweet relationship that could only naturally develop into love. Their forbidden love left me heart broken a few times but thankfully there is a HEA... it just takes so much to get there.
Overall a well written historical fiction. I highly recommend for fans of the forbidden romance trope and the Russian Revolution.
I received an ARC from Netgalley and Harper 360. All thoughts and opinions are my own and offered freely.
