Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: Good. 768 pages. Cover wornAlthough the story of the Barshinskeys, which became our story, too, stretched over many summers and wint ers, that golden time of 1902 was when our strange, involved rela tionship began, when our youthful longing for the exotic, for the fulfillment of dreams not even dreamed, took a solid and restles s hold upon us. So recounts Sophie Wolloughby as she remembers t hat magical English summer afternoon in the season of King Edward VII's coronation and at the end of the Boer War; that dreamlike lull in time when the hedgerows were smothered in elderflowers an d the meadow air was sweet with haymaking. With her brother, Edwi n, her sister, Lillian, Sophie listened to the seductive strains of the wild Russian violin tune Mr. Barshinskey played and watche d spellbound as the ragtag Barshinskey family-Ivan, sullen and di rty; Mrs. Barshinskey, pale and withdrawn; and Galina, sensual, w anton, beautiful-made their way across Tyler's meadow and into th e Willoughby's world. The delighted Willoughby children could no t know that this day and the Barshinskeys' arrival would change t heir lives forever-much as a breathless Europe could not anticipa te that in a few short years, winds of revolution and war would w hip across continents, sweeping away the old familiar way of life . It is at this enchanted moment that The Summer of the Barshins keys begins. A beautifully told, compelling story that moves from the small village of Kent to teeming London, from war-torn and r evolution rocked Moscow to St. Petersburg, this is the unforgetta ble saga of two families whose destinies are fated to entwine in endless combinations of friendship, passion, hatred and love.
