Publisher's Summary
In a faraway kingdom, in a long-ago land....
Rosie’s only inheritance from her reclusive mother is a notebook full of handwritten fairy tales. But another story is lurking between the lines.
Desperate for answers to questions that have tormented her for years, Rosie travels to Moscow and uncovers a devastating family history spanning the 1917 Revolution, Stalin’s bloody purges and beyond. At the heart of those answers stands a young noblewoman, as pretty as a porcelain doll, whose actions reverberate across the century....
Critic Reviews
"I just finished The Porcelain Doll by Kristen Loesch - it’s a Russian House of Spirits, meandering through a maze of mysteries and memories....a masterful debut." (Ellen Alpsten, author of Tsarina)
"A magnificent, beautifully written novel set in two turbulent eras in 20th century Russian history. Kristen Loesch masterfully weaves the two timelines together into a rich, compelling, utterly absorbing novel. I adored it!" (Karen Coles, author of The Asylum)
"The Porcelain Doll is a hugely satisfying read, a sweeping tale of love and survival through the most turbulent years of Russian history, while deciphering a family history veiled in secrets and mysterious fairy tales. Superb." (Anita Frank, author of The Lost Ones)

Porcelain Doll
Wow. An amazing book which I immediately listened to a 2nd time as I was positive that I would understand it better going back to the start. Completely loved the intertwined stories and Tonya and Valentino's love.
My only gripe was the Russians spealing with english accidents, that was annoying.
Cant wait to discuss this at book group as it was such s fascinating story. The strength and love of Tonya and Valentine love was beautiful.
