Mesmerizing from the beginning to the final, breathtaking end, The Bronze Horseman brings alive the story of two indomitable, heroic spirits and their great love that triumphs over the devastation of a country at war. Leningrad, 1941: the European war seems far away in this city of fallen grandeur. Tatiana Metanova lives in a cramped apartment, sharing one room with her sister, their brother and parents. But when Hitler invades, the siege of the city makes the previous severe conditions seem luxurious. Against this backdrop of danger and uncertainty Tatiana meets Alexander, an officer in the Red Army, whose selfconfidence sets him apart from most Russian men and helps to conceal a mysterious and troubled past. With bombs falling, Tatiana and Alexander's love threatens to tear her family apart and reveal his dangerous secret--a secret as destructive as the war itself. Performed by Kate Burton

Everytime I read a book like this with the main female character with no personality, virginal, innocent, dumb and never been kissed I wonder did a guy write this. Amazingly they are being written by women. Tatiana is so immature and stupid I wondered if I was reading a book intended for Junior High school Girls. I wanted to read about Russian History I had never read anything about it or about their culture. I was disappointed that it did not explain more about the period's beliefs about women, their role in society and acceptable social conduct for that period of time. It could have been set now. They seemed no different than girls now days. With the sister Dasha going to clubs and not coming home most nights and then we have pure virginal sister who has never even kissed a guy. I wonder how accurate the history is also since the herione and Alexander were so unreal. If you like reading about Virgins that are more innocent than Mary Mother of God getting it their first time this is the novel for you. If you want depth and real people with real problems and flaws read a real novel GONE WITH THE WIND.

This book is the first in a trilogy woven about a pair of Russian lovers. The author deals in complicated plots and characters with whom one gets emotionally involved. After this book, every minor affliction that bruises my life gets measured against the siege of Leningrad. Alexander is your quintessential war hero, Tatiana his match in courage, ability, and passion. After they are rescued from a deception that seeks to protect her sister from realizing it is Tatiana he loves, further obstacles to their union diversify and multiply. By that time you are so bound up with the characters that you need to accompany them on their tortuous journey. For those who have issues with portrayals of explicit sex, it seems to me you have choices: Skip the books, skip the passages at issue, or see them as expressions of a sacred, God-given intimacy.
