On June 22, 1941, when the radio broadcast exploded with the news of the war's beginning, Tatyana Metanova acted more like a carefree Frenchwoman than a thoughtful Soviet girl. Dressed in a white dress with red roses and enjoying the...
summer day, she stepped out onto the streets of her native Leningrad to meet her fate. Yes, this could only happen to Tatyana. Among all the young people, her heart blindly chose her sister's admirer, and among all the Russian soldiers and officers, she fell for an American! It would be hard to imagine a more carefree, passionate, and happy couple, eagerly reading Pushkin to each other, - if it weren't for the blockade... and for the sister. "The Bronze Horseman" is the first novel in an exciting trilogy by Polina Simmons, an American writer who was born in the Soviet Union but moved to the United States with her family when she was ten years old. Many years later, Polina returned to Russia to gather materials for a new book and, together with her characters, to find herself in a besieged city and go through the severe trials that befell the country caught in the maelstrom of World War II.
