Anna grew up in a noble family in a house on Bolshaya Morskaya. She leaves with her family to her mother’s estate by the sea, to survive the troubled times of the Civil War there. A long road to freedom awaits her—in the least free time possible—through unfreedom: the enslavement of traditions, conventions, and the horror of a bloody war. Revolution; bitter clashes between the Bolsheviks and the White Guards; the change of power; Petrograd, Crimea, Berlin; a fragile young woman, her daughters, the husband’s wayward nephew; love that comes wrong, at the wrong time; and a small wolf cub…
For readers who know everything that will happen next to the country, there is only one thing left: to worry about Anna and whether she will survive in this changing world—one that has suddenly turned into a theater of fading shadows.
A new novel by Elena Afanasyeva, whom Boris Akunin called “Peres-Reverte, having mastered the Russian language to perfection.”
