Paullina Simons writes historical and contemporary fiction about love, war and relationships stretched across long periods of separation or upheaval. The Bronze Horseman begins in Leningrad during the Second World War, following Tatiana Metanova and soldier Alexander Belov as the German siege, hunger and family loyalties complicate their relationship. Tatiana and Alexander and The Summer Garden continue the same couple across war, migration and later family life. Simons has also written contemporary novels outside the trilogy. Her books are long, emotional and strongly relationship-led, with historical hardship and endurance central. They fit wartime romance, historical family saga and multi-book relationship fiction. The Bronze Horseman is the required starting point because the later novels continue Tatiana and Alexander's relationship directly. The Bronze Horseman is the required starting point because Tatiana and Alexander's relationship continues directly through the trilogy; readers should expect a long wartime romance in which siege conditions, separation and family obligations occupy as much space as the central couple.
