The revolution of Marina M.
\"Marina Makarova is a woman of privilege who aches to break free of the constraints of her genteel life, a life about to be upended. Swept up on the tides of the Russian Revolution, Marina will join the marches for workers' rights, fall in love with a radical young poet, and betray all she holds dear, before being betrayed in turn. As her country experiences unimaginable upheaval, Marina's own coming-of-age unfolds, marked by deep passion and devastating loss.\"-- Page [4] of cover.

Chimes of a lost cathedral
After the loves and betrayals of The Revolution of Marina M., young poet Marina Makarova finds herself alone in the countryside amid the devastation of the Russian Civil War--pregnant and adrift, forced to rely on her own resourcefulness to find a place to wait out the birth of her child and eventually make her way back to her native city, Petrograd. After two years of revolution, the city that was once St. Petersburg is almost unrecognizable, the haunted, half-emptied, starving Capital-of-Once-Had-Been, its streets teeming with homeless children. Moved by their plight, though hardly better off herself, she takes on the challenge of caring for these orphans, until they become the tool of tragedy from an unepected direction.
