Leningrado, estate 1941. Tatiana e Dasha sono sorelle e condividono tutto, perfino il letto, nella casa affollata dove vivono con i genitori. Una mattina il loro risveglio è particolarmente agitato: Dasha ha un nuovo innamorato e non vede l''ora di raccontare tutto a Tatiana. Ma un annuncio alla radio manda di colpo in pezzi la loro serenità: il generale Molotov sta comunicando che la Germania ha invaso la Russia. È la guerra. Uscita per fare scorte di cibo, Tatiana incontra Alexander, giovane ufficiale dell''Armata Rossa, e tra loro si scatena un''attrazione irresistibile. Ancora non sanno che quell''amore è proibito per entrambi e potrebbe distruggere per sempre ciò che hanno di più caro. Mentre un implacabile inverno e l''assedio nazista stringono la città in una morsa micidiale, riducendola allo stremo, la dolce Tatiana e il valoroso Alexander troveranno nel legame segreto che li unisce la forza per affrontare avversità e sacrifici. Con la speranza di un futuro migliore.

The epic and monumental love story Paullina Simons began with her adored international bestseller The Bronze Horseman comes to a breathtaking conclusion. The Summer Garden is the third volume in Simons’s magnificent trilogy—a Russian Thorn Birds—which follows a love that survived the terrible siege of Leningrad during World War Two, a heartbreaking separation and a glorious reunion in America, only to be supremely tested by the hatred, fear, and uncertainty of the Cold War. You will never forget the lovers Tatiana and Alexander and their story of enduring love and commitment, and you will cherish every moment spent in The Summer Garden.

“This has everything a romance glutton could wish for: a bold, talented, and dashing hero, a heart-stopping love affair!”—Daily Mail (London) Paullina Simons’s internationally bestselling blockbuster The Bronze Horseman told the heart-soaring tale of a young Russian woman’s transcendent love affair with a Red Army soldier during the siege of Leningrad in the dark days of World War Two. The epic story continues in Tatiana and Alexander—a novel of the enduring power of love and commitment against the devastating forces of war and the equally dangerous forces of keeping the peace. A sweeping, intensely compelling romantic historical saga, Tatiana and Alexander is a Russian Thorn Birds and a truly unforgettable reading experience.

The golden skies, the translucent twilight, the white nights, all hold the promise of youth, of love, of eternal renewal. The war has not yet touched this city of fallen grandeur, or the lives of two sisters, Tatiana and Dasha Metanova, who share a single room in a cramped apartment with their brother and parents. Their world is turned upside down when Hitler''s armies attack Russia and begin their unstoppable blitz to Leningrad. Yet there is light in the darkness. Tatiana meets Alexander, a brave young officer in the Red Army. Strong and self-confident, yet guarding a mysterious and troubled past, he is drawn to Tatiana—and she to him. Starvation, desperation, and fear soon grip their city during the terrible winter of the merciless German siege. Tatiana and Alexander''s impossible love threatens to tear the Metanova family apart and expose the dangerous secret Alexander so carefully protects—a secret as devastating as the war itself—as the lovers are swept up in the brutal tides that will change the world and their lives forever.

Tatiana Metanova, heroine of Paullina Simons'' romantic trilogy set in wartime Russia and the US, cooks her family''s favourite recipes and tells the stories behind them.
