I am an animal rescuer and advocate; it is distressing that when Dmitri died, he did so without making any arrangements ahead of time for the care of his 3rd and final dog. It would have been a lesson for readers who do have pets, to make that arrangement in their own lives, for their own pets. So now we only can surmise that the dog left bereft, starved and died unknown to anyone?

Hi Jan, What a great job you do! You're right that in the novel Dmitri did not make any plans for his dog but fortunately the policeman who found his body took it home and looked after it (this is mentioned earlier when he visits Kitty at the cabin). I was trying to imply that in the last few years of Dmitri's life, he had a form of dementia so it did not occur to him. But I absolutely agree that old people should make these arrangements, especially when they live in such a remote place. Thanks for getting in touch! Gill

I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed "Woman and Children First", followed by "The Secret Wife". I've read both within the past ten days, and just finished "Secret Wife". I am so wrapped up in the story that I'm finding it hard to do anything other than think about the story line. You have a gift. I'm finding myself wanting to read anything and everything on the Romanov family. Thank you for sharing your gift?
