[Marina · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read it several times - the whole saga: in English and in Russian - both are exellent! The English variant - is one of the best examples of classic English with it's special humour...As for the plot - it is, so to say, all time actual - the life, the feelings, the problems, the secrets of a rich and respectful family - are so "the same" as your own.....
