Pe de o parte, în Malinov, o avem pe Sofia împreună cu familia sa: fiul Max, soțul, sora Liuba, tatăl și mama vitregă. Aceștia se confruntă cu răscoala oamenilor de rând contra chiaburilor — revoluția bolșevică, soldată cu uciderea dinastiei Romanov-ilor. Each woman is strong in their own way. The plight of escapees of the revolution taking more than a year to make it to safety, if they live through the trip, is terrifying. The loss of lives on all sides, the hopelessness of the peasants who have been starved and worked to death, there is no winner in this war when oppression is going to continue no matter who wins the war. This is a beautiful but terrifying story made worse by the fact that historical events are true. Roush, Matt, (May 30, 2005) " Question: I'm a really big ...", TV Guide.

Inspired by true events, just like its predecessor, andjust as well-researched, Lost Rosesisa remarkable story and another testament to female strength.This sweeping epic will thrill and delight fansof Lilac Girlsand readers of historical fiction alike.” —PopSugar While this story is not as fast-paced as Lilac Girls, the characters are compelling and the author's research of the period was evident. There is a lot that happens in this novel and it took some concentration to keep it all straight. There are some " hold your breath" moments towards the end, and I feared for what was to come. I was still invested to find out how each of their stories would play out.

Retrieved on June 18, 2009.I loved the characters of Sofya and Luba, strong and resourceful, not giving up even when everything seemed hopeless. I don't want to spoil anything about the family but... my heart broke for them all. Eventually, however, I became invested in Sofya’s quest to find her son and the fate of her husband. I wondered if “Inka” would ever escape Taras’ grasp, even though it meant leaving loved ones behind. I marveled at Eliza’s charitable work; would she also find love again in her personal life?
