Product Description
Review
'a fascinating blend of history, spy story and love story, stylishly told.' (Jennifer Taylor THE BOOKSELLER )
'Marcus Sedgwick achieves a bravura opening, combining Russian folk tales, narrative history, fictionalised biography and employing the repeated metaphor of a giant rampaging bear to symbolise the political awakened Russian massives.' (John Newman PUBLISHING NEWS )
'at once engaging and told with an extraordinary sense of lyricism... an extraordinary novel that delineates with clarity of vision individual concerns against the great sweeping expanses of societal unrest. Sedgwick's acheivement is in fusing these elements into an absorbing and stimulating tale that cements his position as one of the most powerful and innovative writers of contemporary fiction for this age.' (Jake Hope BOOKS FOR KEEPS )
