Russian Pasodoble

“Russian Pasodoble” is a popular work by a well-known Belarusian writer that became a hit on LitRеs. It’s the story of a bright heroine from the author’s previous book (“When the Ice Cracks”).

Esther is a passionate Spanish beauty and the heiress to her father’s immense fortune. Few suspect that she is also a descendant of a Russian princess whose youth and love were destroyed by the 1917 revolution. She still carefully keeps her diaries.

Andrey is an influential Moscow businessman known for his cruelty. He despises everything foreign and is completely merciless, believing that nobility can be taken for weakness—something that may lead to losing one’s honor, as it already happened to his ancestors.

This novel combines elements of a love story and a detective plot, weaving modern times together with events from the romantic and tragic era of the early 20th century.
