When Tatiana met and fell in love with her Red Army officer Alexander in 1941 Leningrad, an unstoppable chain of events was set into motion. And so began Paullina Simons's war-torn epic THE BRONZE HORSEMAN. The couple's story continued in TATIANA AND ALEXANDER, and now in THE SUMMER GARDEN, as the two are miraculously reunited in America after years of separation. With their young son, Anthony, by their side, happiness is at hand, but the anger and regret of war threatens to come between them and their remarkable love. This extraordinary story takes the reader on a journey spanning two-thirds of the twentieth century and three continents as it follows the conflicts and joys of a passionate and dramatic marriage.
