The Silent Land

The novel is set in revolutionary Russia and in the London of the late Nineteen Eighties.

Anna, the heroine of the story, is now a penniless old woman living in a bedsit, but no one can take away the vivid memories of her past: the Count who lifted her out of poverty and took her to live with his own children; the Count's son Misha, whose baby she bore; Peter, the ruthless factory owner who became her lover and her deadliest enemy; Sasha, the tough but gentle peasant who converted her to revolution. And her aristocratic husband whom she adored, but could never love as completely as a woman should love her man

But now Anna finds she has one more battle ahead of her: her great-granddaughters, Jennifer and Sonia, wish to lock her away in an institution. Anna knows that this will kill her. She will have to fight back.

Of all my books, this is my favourite. It is also available in large print ISBN 0-7505-1085-4, and next year will be issued as a full length audio tape by Magna.
