Sashenka Montefiore Simon
Winter, 1916. Beautiful and headstrong, Sashenka Zeitlin is just sixteen. In St Petersburg, snow is falling in a country on the brink of revolution.
Twenty years on, Sashenka has a powerful husband and two children. As her mother parties with Rasputin and her dissolute friends, Sashenka slips into the frozen night to play her role in a dangerous game of conspiracy and seduction. Around her people are disappearing but her own family is safe.
But she's about to embark on a forbidden love affair which will have devastating consequences. Sashenka's story lies hidden for half a century, until a young historian goes deep into Stalin's private archives and uncovers a heart-breaking story of passion and betrayal, savage cruelty and unexpected heroism - and one woman forced to make an unbearable choice.
