A wonderful book! It begins in 1981 as Georgy visits his dying wife Zoya each day in the hospital and is told through his lifetime of memories with her. It unfolds with love, regrets, loyalty, guilt, and fear back to the reign of the Romonovs and an impoverished childhood in Russia. Some surprising revelations along this intense and moving journey. I loved it!

Very well done, even if I guessed it way in the beginning when they first met! It's a big comfortable book about a terrible era but done in a beautiful way.
