32. Another Place, Another Spring

By Adrienne Jones (285 pp)

This book was a gift a long time ago. The author's signature is dated March 1980. I found it in a box and don't remember reading it so I pulled it out now.  It's the story of a young woman in 1840 Russia who is about to be exiled to Siberia and instead escapes. All sorts of adventures happen. I was ambivalent about it as I read it. It's heavy on the melodrama. But when it was finished the characters had won me over.
