Well written, with colorful descriptions that place you in a different, exotic world. Yet a world with real characters and real feelings.

Alone in St. Petersburg, Anna receives a letter from him, urging her to follow him to Kumari. The difficult journey to Kumari is beset with turmoil. She meets Paul Kuragin, who helps her on her journey. Only towards the end does she find out the truth about Gregory and Paul, and her feelings about them both, and chooses between the two.
