Description
In the midst of revolution, a young woman's life becomes entwined with the fate of a nation. Sashenka Zeitlin, just sixteen, finds herself at the centre of a dangerous game of conspiracy and seduction. As the years pass, she builds a life with a powerful husband and children, but a forbidden love affair looms, threatening to upend everything. A century later, a young historian uncovers a long-hidden story of passion, betrayal, and heroism. Sashenka's tale is one of unexpected courage and the unbearable choices that come with it. This is a story of love, loyalty, and the devastating consequences of a life lived in the shadows. A heart-wrenching and thought-provoking novel, Sashenka is a powerful exploration of the human experience.
