Book Overview

A Cossack Lover is a novel written by Martha Gilbert Dickinson Bianchi in 1911. The book tells the story of a young American woman named Mary Page who falls in love with a Cossack soldier named Ivan Petroff while traveling in Russia. Despite the cultural differences and language barrier, Mary and Ivan form a deep connection and begin a passionate romance. However, their love is tested when Ivan is called back to duty and sent to fight in the Russo-Japanese War. Mary is left behind to navigate the complexities of Russian society and the disapproval of her own family. The novel explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the clash of cultures.
