Krátky popis
In this elegant gothic horror tale set in post-revolutionary
Russia, two formerly aristocratic sisters race to uncover their
family's long-buried secrets in a house haunted by a past dangerous
– and deadly – to remember. It is the summer of 1921, and a group
of Bolsheviks have taken over Irina and Lili Goliteva's ancestral
home in Moscow, a stately mansion falling into disrepair and decay.
The remaining members of their family are ordered to move into the
cramped attic, while the officials take over an entire wing of
grand rooms downstairs.The sisters understand it is the way of
things and know they must forget their noble upbringing to make
their way in this new Soviet Russia. But the house begins to
whisper of a traumatic past not as dead as they thought. Eager to
escape it and their unwelcome new landlords, Irina and Lili find
jobs with the recently arrived American Relief Administration,
meant to ease the post-revolutionary famine in Russia.For the
sisters, the ARA provides much-needed food and employment, as well
as a chance for sensible Irina to help those less fortunate and
artistic Lili to express herself for a good cause. It might just
lead them to love, too. But at home, the spirits of their deceased
family awaken, desperate to impart what really happened to them
during the Revolution.Soon one of the officials living in the house
is found dead. Was his death caused by something supernatural, or
by someone all too human? And are Irina and Lili and their family
next? Only unearthing the frightening secrets of Moscow House will
reveal all. But this means the sisters must dig deep into a past no
one in Russia except the dead are allowed to remember.
