The Last Russian Doll / [electronic resource]. by Loesch, Kristen.; Maarleveld, Saskia.;
Narrator: Saskia Maarleveld.In a faraway kingdom, in a long-ago land....a young girl lived happily in Moscow with her family: a sister, a father, and an eccentric mother who liked to tell fairy tales and collect porcelain dolls. One summer night, everything changed, and all that remained of that family were the girl and her mother. Now, a decade later and studying at Oxford University, Rosie has an English name, a loving fiancé, and a promising future, -- but all she wants is to understand -- and bury -- the past. After her mother dies, Rosie returns to Russia, armed with little more than her mother's strange folklore -- and a single key. What she uncovers is a devastating family history that spans the 1917 Revolution, the siege of Leningrad, Stalin's purges, and beyond. At the heart of this saga stands a young noblewoman, Tonya, as pretty as a porcelain doll, -- whose actions -- and love for an idealistic man -- will set off a sweeping story that reverberates across the century....Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 304834 KB).
