I loved this book, but at times was frustrated, happy, sad, once I even thought Is it ever going to end. There are so many levels to this book, it is quite hard to know where to begin in this review. It will mess with your mind and heart so be prepared! It is a fictional story based on a past time reality. The Bronze Horseman will leave you appreciating the life you live and it will have you holding onto your loved ones a little longer. They were a couple like no other and the story was one I will never forget. Even now, three days later, I cannot get into another book because my brain is still with Alexander and Tatiana. Normally, I have the urge to skim when books are long, but this one held my attention and sucked me in one word at a time. It was intimate, intricate, and just flat out EPIC. The sexual tensions pours off the pages and leaves you begging for more.
It's not a mushy kind of love, but more of a I'll do anything to be with you kind of love.
The main characters will grab your heart and hold it captive. It is a story of hardships, war life, and forbidden romance. Everything felt so real and even when the book was closed I was still consumed in the characters lives. My heart ached and my gut wrenched several times. Oh Gosh, I honestly could not swoon more over a book! This one is an epic love story that should not be overlooked.
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. Starvation, desperation, and fear soon grip their city during the terrible winter of the merciless German siege. Strong and self-confident, yet guarding a mysterious and troubled past, he is drawn to Tatiana-and she to him. Tatiana meets Alexander, a brave young officer in the Red Army. Their world is turned upside down when Hitler's armies attack Russia and begin their unstoppable blitz to Leningrad. 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. The golden skies, the translucent twilight, the white nights, all hold the promise of youth, of love, of eternal renewal.
