My True Love Gave to Me...

and I'm giving away...

A novel about the Russian ballet

When she decides to auction her remarkable jewelry collection, Nina Revskaya, once a great star of the Bolshoi Ballet, believes she has drawn a curtain on her past. Instead, the former ballerina finds herself overwhelmed by memories of her homeland and of the events--both glorious and heartbreaking--that changed the course of her life half a century before.

It was in Russia that she discovered the magic of the theater; that she fell in love with the poet Viktor Elsin; that she and her dearest companions--Gersh, a dangerously irreverent composer, and the exquisite Vera, Nina's closest friend--became victims of Stalinist aggression; that a terrible discovery led to a deadly act of betrayal--and to an ingenious escape that eventually brought her to the city of Boston.

Nina has hidden her dark secrets for half a lifetime. But two people will not let the past rest: Drew Brooks, an inquisitive young associate director at the Boston auction house; and Grigori Solodin, a Russian professor who believes that a unique set of amber jewels may hold the key to his own ambiguous past. Together these unlikely partners find themselves unraveling a literary mystery whose answers will hold life-changing consequences for them all.

This is another debut novel I really enjoyed this year.
