Nu har äntligen turen kommit till Pauliina Simons The Bronze Horseman. Har hört så mycket gott om denna historiska roman som utspelar sig i Ryssland så det ska bli så bra att äntligen få läsa den.
Smakbiten idag kommer precis från inledningen.
Light came through the window, trickling morning all over the room. Tatiana Metanova slept the sleep of the innovent, the sleep of resless joy, of warm, white Leningrad nights, of jasmine June. But most of all, intoxicated with life, she slept the exuberant sleep of undaunted youth.She did not sleep for much longer.
When the sun's rays moved across the room to rest at the foot of Tatiana's bed, she pulled the sheet over her head, trying to keep the daylight out. The bedroom door opened, and she heard the floor creak once. It was her sister, Dasha.
