The ending of the book is fantastic and moves quickly. The plot isn’t quite as action-packed as The Bronze Horseman, as much more of the story is emotional, filled with the deepest and darkest thoughts of our two main characters.īut don’t worry, your patience pays off. It is because they are apart that I would say it is a slower read. Your heart breaks over and over again for Tatiana and Alexander as they live their separate lives: Alexander desirous of survival to find Tatiana, and a hollow Tatiana mourning the loss of her Alexander. This book is heavy, heavy, heavy with sadness and longing.

Of course, the meat of the novel is the agonizing separation of Alexander and Tatiana who are across the world from each other. This story picks up more or less where The Bronze Horseman left off however, the timelines overlap a little bit. In this book you learn more about Alexander’s back story prior to WWII, and you glimpse at unseen moments from when Alexander and Tatiana were together in Leningrad and Lazarevo. A sweeping, intensely compelling romantic historical saga, Tatiana and Alexander is a Russian Thorn Birds and a truly unforgettable reading experience. 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. 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. “This has everything a romance glutton could wish for: a bold, talented, and dashing hero, a heart-stopping love affair!” Published by HarperCollins on July 29th 2010īuy on Amazon, Buy on Barnes & Noble, Buy from The Book Depository Tatiana and Alexander is the continuation of their story, and it doesn’t disappoint.

In case you missed it, I recently reviewed The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons and called it one of my favorite reads of all-time.
