Product Description
Book Description
This historical novel, set in Russia and England, is based on real events, beginning with the assassination of Tsar Paul in 1801. The story starts with the smallest possible thing, a sigh in an overheated ballroom in St.Petersburg. All the tragic events that follow are a consequence of that sigh - betrayal, haunting, witchcraft, death, exile, and a terrible four-thousand walk to freedom and love.
From the Author
Like all those who love reading I can never pass a second-hand bookshop or charity shop without rushing in to have a look. Three years ago I found a thick volume, obviously old, with its green and gold spine torn and its pages loose. It was volume II of Siberia and the Exile System by George Kennan. Published in 1891 it was the account of an American journalist who travelled by sledge across Russia to report on the conditions of the prisoners in Siberia. I was able to borrow volume I from Cambridge University. Later I found A Princess of Siberia by Christine Sutherland. These two books, with their tales of cruelty and courage, were the inspiration of my novel Love Among the Daughters.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A great read.,
By nikki macdonald (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Among the Daughters (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed being transported to 19th century Russia and England. The historical backdrop to the story is facinating and made me want to read more about Russia at that time. The love story across the two countries is captivating and makes the book a real page turner. Highly recommended - I loved this book.

This review is from: Love Among the Daughters (Paperback)
I enjoyed every minute of this enthralling tale of adventure and romance in Russia and England during the 19th century. The drawing together of the different story lines is excellently done. A very satisfying read.

A worthwhile read,
By mavis davies (Woking. Surrey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Among the Daughters (Paperback)
This is a very enjoyable book, with a well-worked plot and believable characters. The background history, both English and Russian, was obviously well researched, and gave an interesting insight into the period. A very worthwhile read.
