"Daphne Kalotay captivates in a soaring debut novel. An elegant,
compelling puzzle of family, memory and solitude that brings to life
modern-day Boston and postwar Russia through a profound love story.
Graceful, moving, and unexpected."
--Matthew Pearl, New York Times bestselling author of The Dante Club
In Russian Winter, the beautiful debut novel by critically acclaimed
writer Daphne Kalotay, a famed ballerina's jewelry auction in Boston
reveals long-held secrets of love and family, friendship and rivalry,
harkening back to Stalinist Russia. Called "tender, passionate, and
moving" by Jenna Blum, the New York Times bestselling author of Those
Who Save Us, Russian Winter is a perfect choice for fans of the
novels of Debra Dean (The Madonnas of Leningrad), Ann Patchett (Bel
Canto), and Ian McEwan (Atonement).
