description: 'The English Woman's Memoir' is the historical sequel of 'Elizabeth, The Crimean War Nurse', this time describing the second generation of the grand Voronov family. Little did the young and inexperienced governess, Miss Eleanor Brown, know when recklessly consenting to come to Imperial Russia with her aristocratic employer that her forthcoming sojourn in the foreign country would turn into a tempestuous trial and privation... Can the loving sprig of the dog-rose and the bind-weed be forever entwined, or will the impetuous hurricane ruthlessly uproot the dearly caring beloved? Madly attached to each other Vasiliy and Eleanor are not afraid to become adulterers, trying to withstand the cruel predicaments which the man's precocious marriage presents... But not only is the nobleman's conjugal life an enchained nightmare... Long-simmering hatred of now freed former serfs finally results in the bloody all-absorbing Bolshevik Revolution... Who is the enigmatic atheist, the elusive ring-leader of the Reds? Will Fyodor, the son of the abductor, reconcile with his forfeited mother, Elizabeth, or will the hatred of the two half-brothers become an insurmountable wedge on the way to the heart of their mutual parent? Set against the tragic background of Tsar Nicholas's abdication, there is only a short span between the collapsed Russian Empire and that of the newly emerged future 'Empire of Evil', the time, in which the young foreign governess must either save herself and her daunted love-child on the forever departing steamer or... fall a helpless prey to bloodthirsty and lustful Bolsheviks...
