The day they meet is the day it is announced Hitler is invading Russia. But these two have no idea what lies in store for them. They get on a bus together and their fate is set. Their eyes meet and he crosses the street. One day she is sitting on a bench eating ice cream when she sees a young officer in the Red Army across the street. Tatiana is a seventeen year old, care-free girl who lives in a two room apartment with her parents, her grandparents, her twin brother and her older sister. “I can’t believe how not meant to be we are” This book starts the amazing love story of Tatiana and Alexander. So thank you to everyone who tweeted me because I completely fell in love. And all of a sudden my tweet stream starting filling up with “OMG the best book you will ever read” and “You will cry like you have never cried before.” When my good reading friends Amy and Claudia (and many others) exclaimed their absolute love for this book, I decided to try it. However a few days ago, Jane tweeted that the book was on sale for $1.99 and she also expressed how much she enjoyed this epic love story. But I also knew it was 900 pages and set in WWII Russia, a time setting that I didn’t think would interest a me. “Oh, Alexander,” she said, “what do you want from me….”Įver since I met Kate online, I knew The Bronze Horseman was her absolute favorite book so it has been on my radar for sometime.
