About the book
The news that Sandra, an English teacher at a lycée in Vienna, has inherited a family estate in Russia sends her not only to that country, so mysterious to her, but into her family's past. The old estate keeps many secrets — and Sandra is bound up in them more closely than anyone…
Sandra wears jeans and trainers and has no time for ghosts. But in the boarded-up mansion in a forest by a lake, the house begins to show her 1814 — and from the portrait above the fireplace her own face looks back at her.
Her great-great-grandmother Varenka was a beauty, a countess — and a woman whose anger could kill. A diary inscribed «To my heiress» explains why that concerns Sandra too.
