Synopsis
"Some men don't fall in love; they get lost. I was lost from the moment I saw Anastasia Romanov in the taxi club that first night..."
Shanghai 1921
American journalist Michael Sheridan jumps into the Whangpoa River to save a White Russian refugee he met in one of Shanghai's taxi clubs. Anastasia Romanov bears an extraordinary resemblance to the princess of the same name, rumoured to have survived the brutal murder of her family at the hands of Bolshevik revolutionaries. The fate of the youngest daughter of the last Russian Czar has become one of the most talked-about mysteries of the time. But Michael's Anastasia is suffering from amnesia and cannot remember more than the last year of her life.
Unravelling the mystery of her past and her identity takes Michael and Anastasia from the streets of Shanghai to the decadence of pre-war Berlin and London, from Bolshevik Russia to New York, just before the Wall Street crash. Michael is the only man who has ever helped Anastasia without wanting something in return - but can she give up the chance to be the princess for true love?
Spanning the turbulent and romantic decade of the twenties, internationally bestselling author Colin Falconer weaves a tale of murder and betrayal, royal scandal and financial intrigue - and ultimately one of the greatest love stories ever told.
