The Magnificent Conclusion to the Timeless Epic Saga

Through years of war and devastation, Tatiana and Alexander suffered the worst the twentieth century had to offer. Miraculously reunited in America, they now have a beautiful son, Anthony, the gift of a love strong enough to survive the most terrible upheavals. Though they are still young, the ordeals they endured have changed them-and after living apart in a world laid waste, they must now find a way to live together in postwar America.

With the Cold War rising, dark forces at work in their adopted country threaten their lives, their family, and their hard-won peace. To regain the happiness they once knew, to wash away the lingering pain of the past, two lovers grown distant must somehow forge a new life . . . or watch the ghosts of their yesterdays destroy their firstborn son.

The Summer Garden . . . their odyssey is just beginning.

So glad this finally came out on audio!

This was a beautiful wrap up to the series and Tim Campbell's narration was amazing 🙂

I love the story and audio performance from

This series never fails me and it tells me the song of a life. Go across the street and go to that girl sitting on the bench.

Very dark story

I almost decided not to finish as it was such a dark sad story. But I am glad I did as the ending was very happy.

Full Circle

A full and complete rendering of how their live’s, any one’s live, has many many highs and lows, yet when we stick it out it can come to a full and complete beautiful end.

The beautiful love story!

Lovrd the history part, the undying love between Alexander and Tatiana and all the children, grandchildren!

Parting is such sweet sorrow...

I knew there would be an end. Somehow...I still imagined that I would never arrive there. A bit more of the epic love and the enthralling history that is the story of Tatiana and her "soldier". Just like the first two installments, I wanted this to go on forever but...suck things can not be. I guess I'll have to start all over again...(maybe this time in Russian?😊)

Domestic violence cloaked as romance

I read this book many years ago and remembered it fondly as an epic romance with ups and downs, great trials and tribulations. Listening to it now as someone who deals with a teaches domestic violence awareness I don’t have the stomach to finish this book. If anyone wants a textbook example of how domestic violence looks Alexander is a prime example. Power and control gained by isolation, manipulation, physical, sexual and mental abuse. Children used as leverage and ammo becoming collateral damage. As I recall the book eventually wraps up in a happy neat bow of an ending but I can’t keep listening.
