Can't Wait Wednesday #19

I am looking forward to the publication of Kristen Loesch's The Last Russian Doll next week on March 14, 2023. What initially attracted me to the book was its gorgeous cover.  You can never go wrong with a gold and red pallet.

This is an epic story about betrayal, revenge, and redemption that follows three generations of Russian women.  The time period covers the 1917 revolution to the last days of the Soviet Union. The story begins with a young girl lived happily in Moscow with her sister, father, and mother who liked to tell fairy tales and collect porcelain dolls. One summer night, everything changed, and all that remained of that family were the girl and her mother.
 
Fast forward a decade later and studying at Oxford University, Rosie has an English name, a loving fiancé, and a promising future. However, all she wants is to understand and bury the past. After her mother dies, Rosie returns to Russia, armed with little more than her mother’s strange folklore--and a single key. What she uncovers is a devastating family history that spans the 1917 Revolution, the siege of Leningrad, Stalin’s purges, and beyond.

I am looking forward to reading this one.
