Six Days in Leningrad by Paullina Simons Book Summary

The never-before-told story of the journey behind THE BRONZE HORSEMAN
From the author of the celebrated, internationally bestselling Bronze Horseman saga comes a glimpse into the private life of its much loved creator, and the real story behind the epic novels. Paullina Simons gives us a work of non-fiction as captivating and heart-wrenching as the lives of tatiana and Alexander. Only a few chapters into writing her first story set in Russia, her mother country, Paullina Simons travelled to Leningrad (now St Petersburg) with her beloved Papa. What began as a research trip turned into six days that forever changed her life, the course of her family, and the novel that became tHE BRONZE HORSEMAN. After a quarter-century away from her native land, Paullina and her father found a world trapped in yesteryear, with crumbling stucco buildings, entire families living in seven-square-meter communal apartments, and barren fields bombed so badly that nothing would grow there even fifty years later. And yet there were the spectacular white nights, the warm hospitality of family friends and, of course, the pelmeni and caviar. At times poignant, at times inspiring and funny, this is both a fascinating glimpse into the inspiration behind the epic saga, and a touching story of a family's history, a father and a daughter, and the fate of a nation.

Enjoyable read. This book started out amazingly, the author captured St Petersburg beautifully and made me want to get on the next flight there! Unfortunately towards the end, the book became more about complaining about a lack of bathrooms and long lines at airport check-in desks than a journey through St Petersburg and its surrounds.

Six Days in Leningrad. I felt like I was there in Leningrad, I lived it with Paullina. In parts of this book I could feel echoes of her other novels. It reminded me of how much I love Tatiana and Alexander, I am going to read it again now I never tire of their love story. Thank you for sharing the photos, this book is really special!

Wonderfully touching. Thank you for this book, it meant so much to read about your experiences. A beautiful tale that seems more like fiction than reality.

Beautiful memoir. I really enjoyed this book. Iā€™m a traditional paper book reader but loved this anyway. Iā€™d probably buy a copy if it came out in print, but only if it was edited better first! There were a lot of errors, typos and spelling mistakes in this which annoyed me while reading it. Butā€¦ it was beautiful. I adored Paullinaā€™s ā€˜Russianā€™ books, especially the first three. I love Russia and am fascinated by the culture myself, and I just loved reading about her trip back. I was there in 2008 and I feel like it must have improved a fair bit since the time she was there, but then I wasnā€™t in peopleā€™s apartments etc to experience ā€˜real lifeā€™ Russia. The story was beautiful and moving and I loved that she shared this with her father. A must-read if youā€™re a Bronze Horseman fan.
