[quote=""Nefret""]Oh, that's pretty. What time (and book) are you in?

I'm still in Russia too. It's about 1809 now.[/quote]

1910 or shortly after. Emily by Cynthia Harrod Eagles. This has been a great trilogy. We've just met the ever-so-creepy Rasputin

I am like it, a nice blend of history, romance and a slice of Russian life. What I do like is even if the MC's are *well-born* we're not stuck in the court and the stories aren't revolving around the *royal family* but just outside of that.

Let me know when you get to Napoleon's retreat from Russia. Horrifying stuff. Those poor soldiers.

Just left Edinburgh, 1745. Headed for Iowa, 1979. Whew, I can feel the jet lag already......

Anna, Fleur and then Emily. One thing is there's at least a generation between the books so each one should stand fairly well on its own. This one is fun, Emily starts as a poor relation (she's the granddaughter of an earl but her father made a poor marriage and was cut-off) and gets whisked up by her Russian grandmother just like Cinderalla. She's just now married her Russian prince, although I'm guessing he's got a dire secret or something that won't make for a happy marriage.

Yes, but I've had no trouble hunting them down. My county had the first two and I've ILL'd book #3 from the neighboring county. The editions I have must have been printed first in the UK, St. Martin's Press.
