Summary: A Book To Cherish
Comment: I have just finished this wonderful book and feel exhausted and emotionally drained. Meal times were a huge inconvenience whereas bath time allowed me to escape to war ravaged Russia and characters , whom I still can't stop thinking about, days after the book has ended. I wonder how it is possible to become so obsessed with fictional people but can only say it is the power of the author's writing. We touch people in our daily lives often just scratching the surface, but not so in this book where we can share their innermost thoughts and questions. Nor did I have any trouble picturing the desolate streets of Lenningrad or imagining the very real hunger of the starving population. Rarely have I read a novel so beautifully sensual. I have to say thank you Paullina and can only hope that a sequel will bring these wonderful people to life again. I usually start another novel immediately, but as yet I am still dwelling pleasantly on The Bronze Horseman.

Summary: A Great Book! Must READ!!
Comment: The Bronze Horseman is a sweeping epic of vast proportions. Set in 1941 war torn Leningrad, Russia, we meet the Metanovs and their tale of survival in a city under siege. The book focuses on two sisters, Tatiana and Dasha, who both love the same man, Alexander, a soldier in the Red Army. The book spans the coarse of the war and heartache and pain that accompanies it. Simons beautifully tells a story of woe and love with poetic sentiment and a smooth flow. When I first picked it up, I thought, "Here I go, another mushy love story." In fact, it is, but not so much you want to gag. I thought I'd give it a chance and it captured me from the git go. There was only one part that was just a little long, but otherwise, I was pleasantly surprised, I couldn't put it down! I was surprised at how Simons was able to put actual feelings and actions that one would actually do or say. You can't miss a page or you'll miss out on something important!!! GO AND READ THIS BOOK!

Summary: Get out your Kleenex box, girls...
Comment: ...because this one will smash your heart again and again. This story was painfully beautiful from the beginning, and I ached the whole way through. I can honestly say this is one of the most beautiful love stories I have ever read. The dialogue was ingenious. This book brings living and suffering and freedom into fresh perspective. It brings fresh meaning to the word sacrifice. The author brings so much pain and sorrow, so much complexity and wisdom, so many layers of meaning and love in this novel. These characters really stayed with me, well after reading the book. I smiled when I read other reviews from people who said they sobbed and even had sleepless nights after reading this novel. I'm not laughing now, because I swear I sobbed through the end of the book, I really loved the character of Shura (Alexander), and indeed I did have a sleepless night or two with an aching chest, thinking of Tatia and Shura. I am constantly reading books, but this is one of those rare reads for me where I can't pick up another book for several days because this one has impacted me so deeply. I would like to read more of her books, but I hesitate. It's not that I don't want to read another right away, it's that I don't think I CAN.
