Beautifully, long enough

This is one of those books that becomes like a good friend and, fortunately, is long enough that you don't have to lose her for a while.Set in pre-Communist Russia, this is the tale of a strong peasant girl, Marya, her arrogant but fragile mistress, and their gruff, frightening, but surprising jailer-turned-protector, Boris. The scope is large, the writing beautifully descriptive, the dialogue meaningful. It is a story of loss, betrayal, suspense, and love. It is a story of what happens when you lose everything you thought you wanted and find that you can start a new life with one you thought you didn't want.
