About this ebook

The epic and monumental love story Paullina Simons began with her adored international bestseller The Bronze Horseman comes to a breathtaking conclusion. The Summer Garden is the third volume in Simons’s magnificent trilogy—a Russian Thorn Birds—which follows a love that survived the terrible siege of Leningrad during World War Two, a heartbreaking separation and a glorious reunion in America, only to be supremely tested by the hatred, fear, and uncertainty of the Cold War. You will never forget the lovers Tatiana and Alexander and their story of enduring love and commitment, and you will cherish every moment spent in The Summer Garden.

Ratings and reviews

This last book spans a lifetime, maybe a little too much war for me, but overall, just as entertaining as the other two! Love the way it explodes with new characters near the end.

So much to learn, to feel, to grow. I find myself in another world reading these books and don't think that will ever change - no matter how many times I read them.

this book was good but should have ended chapters earlier...it went on and on with no point.
