How much would you sacrifice for true love? The second novel in Paullina
Simons' stunning End of Forever saga continues the heartbreaking story of
Julian and Josephine, and a love that spans lifetimes.
The never-before-told story of the journey behind THE BRONZE HORSEMAN, now in
print for the first time. From the author of the celebrated, internationally
bestselling BRONZE HORSEMAN saga comes a glimpse into the private life of its
much loved creator, and the real story behind the epic novels. Paullina Simons
gives us a work of non-fiction as captivating and heart-wrenching as the lives
of Tatiana and Alexander. Only a few chapters into writing her first story set
in Russia, her mother country, Paullina Simons travelled to Leningrad (now St
Petersburg) with her beloved Papa. What began as a research trip turned into
six days that forever changed her life, the course of her family, and the
novel that became THE BRONZE HORSEMAN. After a quarter-century away from her
native land, Paullina and her father found a world trapped in yesteryear, with
crumbling stucco buildings, entire families living in seven-square-metre
communal apartments, and barren fields bombed so badly that nothing would grow
there even fifty years later. And yet there were the spectacular white nights,
the warm hospitality of family friends and, of course, the pelmeni and caviar.
At times poignant, at times inspiring and funny, this is both a fascinating
glimpse into the inspiration behind the epic saga, and a touching story of a
family's history, a father and a daughter, and the fate of a Nation.
This sequel continues the touching journey of love and family, expanding on the themes explored in the first book. Paullina Simons, an internationally-renowned author, delves deeper into the emotional connections and experiences that define parenthood. Readers can expect heartwarming moments and profound insights that resonate with anyone who cherishes their loved ones.
