Rose review avatar  The Bronze Horseman by: Paullina Simons

 

Light came through the window, trickling morning all over the room. Tatiana Metanova slept the sleep of the innocent, the sleep of restless joy, of warm, white Leningrad nights, of jasmine June. But most of all, intoxicated with life, she slept the exuberant sleep of undaunted youth.

She did not sleep for much longer. 

I am reading this for the second time for my book club. The first time I read this book was nearly 10 years ago. I loved then. I love it now. I love the characters and the story’s complexity. It is set in Russia during WWII and I find that fascinating. As for this book’s beginning, well can we say “Hello blatant foreshadowing!?”The-Bronze-Horseman
