Una historia de amor apasionante ambientada en la naciente China comunista. Año 1928 . Exiliadas de Rusia tras la revolución bolchevique, Lydia Ivannova y su madre hallan refugio en Junchow, China. La situación de los rusos, expulsados de su país sin pasaporte ni patria a la que regresar, es muy difícil. La ruina económica las acecha y Lydia, consciente de que tiene que exprimir su ingenio para sobrevivir, recurre al robo. Cuando un valioso collar de rubíes -regalo de Stalin- desaparece, Chang An Lo, amenazado por las tropas nacionalistas a la caza de los comunistas, interviene en la vida de Lydia y la salva de una muerte segura. Atrapados en las peligrosas disputas que enfrentan a las violentas Tríadas -organizaciones criminales de origen chino- de Junchow, y prisioneros de las estrictas normas vigentes en el asentamiento colonial, Lydia y Chang se enamoran y se implican en una lucha atroz que les obliga a enfrentarse a las peligrosas mafias que controlan el comercio de opio, al tiempo que su atracción sin fin se verá puesta a prueba hasta límites insospechados. La crítica ha dicho... «Maravillosa, una historia de amor apasionante, una novela épica extraordinariamente ambiciosa en la que los ambientes se recrean con maestría.» Kate Mosse, autora de El laberinto

The Russian Concubine dazzled readers. Now, its gifted author delivers another sweeping historical novel. Davinsky Labor Camp, Siberia, 1933: Only two things in this wretched place keep Sofia from giving up hope: the prospect of freedom, and the stories told by her friend and fellow prisoner Anna, of a charmed childhood in Petrograd, and her fervent girlhood love for a passionate revolutionary named Vasily. After a perilous escape, Sofia endures months of desolation and hardship. But, clinging to a promise she made to Anna, she subsists on the belief that someday she will track down Vasily. In a remote village, she's nursed back to health by a Gypsy family, and there she finds more than refuge--she also finds Mikhail Pashin, who, her heart tells her, is Vasily in disguise. He's everything she has ever wanted--but he belongs to Anna. After coming this far, Sofia is tantalizingly close to freedom, family--even a future. All that stands in her way is the secret past that could endanger everything she has come to hold dear!
