Russia, 1861
Antonina's world is shattered one cold spring afternoon, when her only son, Misha, is kidnapped while out riding with his father, the Count of the Angelkov estate. The Count is also terribly injured, and Antonina turns for help to those closest to her: Grisha, the estate steward, a man whose stoic exterior hides a secret shame he has borne all the way from Siberia, where he was born; and Lilya, the maid who jealously guards her mistress's secrets - - and her affections.
At once sweeping and deeply personal, set against the period of upheaval and social revolution of 1860's Russia known as The Unrest, The Lost Souls of Angelkov is historical fiction at its finest.
