Wonderful . . . a gripping love story . . . ‘The Russian Concubine is a great story of love, loss and conflicting loyalties in a fascinatingly precarious moment of history. The wonderfully drawn and all-too-human characters struggle to survive in a world of danger and bewildering change, constantly choosing whether to embrace the past or to escape it, caught between cultures’
My second Kate Furnivall read was The Russian Concubine and yet again I struck gold with a wonderfully descriptive and invitingly exciting novel. A real page turner where you won’t want to put it down. The story has the same characters as the Jewel of St Petersburg but in a different culture time and place. The characters are strong, vivid and you almost wish you could meet them. A very powerful and moving novel that will stay with me.
