This book is a marvelous conclusion to a beautiful, heartwrenching and heartwarming series. Some readers feel the sex is gratuitous, I think it is exactly right for these two characters who had only had a brief honeymoon, before years of separation - and part of their undeniable connection that was instant and permanent. We have all read and seen 50 year marriages, and heard from both the husband and wife how they saw each other and knew - and that knowledge and connection remained 50, 60 years.... we all wish for that. Alexander and Tatiana are massively in love and need each other to live - and their love life is evidence of that. I love every part of this book and thank Paullina from the bottom of my heart for such a stunning portrayal of a marriage and life through the cold war. It will be a permanent fixture on my bookshelf.
