Praise

“Siberian Secrets expertly mixes history and mystery with a potent dash of suspense to transport the reader to places and themes previously unexplored in English-language fiction. Complex issues of authenticity and affection, deep-lying injustice, and steadfastness in the face of adversity, intertwine to produce a gripping narrative whose outcome can never be predicted until at long last it arrives, a satisfyingly rich resolution.”

—Gerald Smith is Emeritus Professor of Russian, Oxford University, Emeritus Fellow of New College, Oxford and Fellow of the British Academy

“This wonderful novel about a fascinating historical rescue set in Siberia makes for amazing, fast-paced reading—a dramatic story told with great flare.”

—Marjorie Mandelstam Balzer, Research Professor, Department of Anthropology and the Center for Eurasian, Russian and East European Studies at Georgetown University
