In pre-Revolutionary Russia, Geoffrey Elliott's grandfather, David, was taken from rural exile to the brutality of an Irkutsk prison for his involvement with a group of anti-government activists. Here he met Manya, the love of his life, and the two become embroiled in a political protest resulting in raids by the police and the death of three friends. After a long spell in prison, David fled with Manya to London, where he joined the Russian tobacco trade at The House of Sobranie, and the couple started a family. A homesick about-turn took the family back to Siberia — but amidst the turmoil of revolution in 1917, they were forced to flee once more through Asia and Europe to the alien safety of London. Told with great affection, Geoffrey Elliott's compelling history of his extraordinary family is an epic and very human tale of exile, home, and hope for change.

The five year friendship and marriage of the writer Anton Chekhov and the actress Olga Knipper, who created many of the central female roles in his plays, is one of the most extraordinary love stories in the history of the theatre. Because of Knipper's work at the Moscow Art Theatre and Chekhov's illness, which bound him to Yalta, their relationship flourished through a constant stream of letters between them. Temperamentally the actress and writer were at odds, and their correspondence reveals a relationship as tempestuous, teasing and spontaneous as the many relationships found in Chekhov's stories and plays. This selection is the passionate and enduring record of their love affair.
