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.
