‘A sweeping story of love and loss set against a finely observed pivotal moment in the history of Russia. Recommended for lovers of classic Russian literature such as Pasternak and Tolstoy.’ – The Historical Novel Society

—————-

Young Anna Brianski has led a charmed life between St Petersburg and the peace of the Russian countryside, until one terrible day in December 1825. It’s a day that starts with winter sun and ends with blood on the snow – the Decembrist Revolt – changes everything. Her family, her freedom and her friends are all in grave danger, as she sees the caprice and cruelty of the Tsar at first hand.

Sweeping from high society to the frozen gulag, from the embrace of a lover to the tears of separated friends, The Rebel Daughters reminds us of how courage comes in many forms, the price we pay for defiance, and how love can be the greatest rebellion of all.
