Description
The story behind THE BRONZE HORSEMAN is revealed in this captivating memoir. Paullina Simons recounts her journey to Leningrad (now St Petersburg) with her father, which took an unexpected turn and changed the course of her life forever. During six days in 1990, Paullina witnessed a world trapped in yesteryear - crumbling buildings, communal apartments, and barren fields. Yet she also experienced warm hospitality, spectacular white nights, and traditional Russian cuisine. This memoir is both a fascinating glimpse into the inspiration behind THE BRONZE HORSEMAN saga and a touching story of family history. A poignant and inspiring account, this book offers a unique perspective on the author's experiences in her native land, 25 years after leaving.
