The Bronze Horseman
by Paullina Simons
Reread for third time: November 7-12 2016
Video review for this trilogy here: https://bit.ly/3g8AbtO
Alexander spots Tatiana in the middle of Leningrad as Germany declares war on Russia eating ice-cream and enjoying a calm, peaceful moment in the middle of the drama. From that moment, he is hooked. Tatiana spots Alexander and she falls in love. As Leningrad falls under siege, and Alexander desperately helps This is one of my all ti keep Tania and her family alive, their love is kept secret. This is an epic love story when either could die at anytime and both show remarkable feats of strength and love that pull them through and always finding each other.
This is my favourite book in the entire world and every time I read it I fall in love with Tatiana and Alexander's relationship all over again. This book is full of angst,and declarations of love and the fight for survival - it's a yo-yo of emotions. But there is amazing character development with Tatiana who starts off a naive, young 17-year-old eating ice-cream instead f buying supplies who is told again and again by her family how weak and small she is and she ends up being the one to get their rations every morning in a bombed-out city, starving half to death herself so the others around her can eat and eventually ending up the strongest of them all, and carrying them on her shoulders.Yet she still remains innocent and hopeful, knowing Alexander will come back to her.
A lot of effort went into this book from the way of Russian life in the Soviet Union, to the moments during the war and the description of how Tania and Alexander liv their lives as soldier and nurse. It does lag a bit in the middle but I don't mind it so much because I really feel like they deserved to have that lag and just be with each other. There are moments of peace when Alexander and Tatiana can be with each other and I'm happy to just read pages of them loving each other after seeing them struggle through the siege.
The ending of this book kills me every Time and I want to pick up Tatiana and Alexander straight away now. Emotions ALL OVER THE PLACE.
_____
The romance between Tatiana and Alexander is one of the most heartfelt, emotional and heartbreaking stories I have ever read. I can never get enough of it and I find myself reading it again and again and again.
I couldn't recommend this book enough to anyone who like a good romance or historical novel. The backdrop of the war and the struggles Tatia goes through with Dasha and her family, all the while silently loving Shura is beautiful.
Read it!!Read it now!
