Um þessa rafbók
Unexpectedly inheriting her Godfather’s estate—including a house stuffed with loot and a frightful taxidermy bear—Galina sets about building a new life. Luckily, she is befriended by the Orlovs and introduced to the glittering St Petersburg high-society.
Soon Galina has an excess of suitors, but she can’t help but compare all of them to the man who ought to have received her inheritance, had he not died in a shipwreck. The portrait of handsome and honorable Gennadi draws her eye and occupies her thoughts. Her mother says the tarot cards don’t associate death with Gennadi. But tarot is just nonsense… Isn’t it?
The story of a young woman finding her way in the strange and thrilling high-society world of aristocratic Russia during the Napoleonic wars. This book will delight those looking for authentic historical detail of a young Christian woman embracing her fate and fortune.
