On a study trip to Leningrad, literature student Stephanie meets Sergei, an enigmatic young dissident. Stephanie had fallen in love with a fairy tale image of Russia - full of palaces and aristocrats; Sergei offers to show her just how different the reality is. Even in the supposedly enlightened days of Gorbachev, Sergei is in constant danger because of his political beliefs. So when he asks Stephanie to agree to a marriage of convenience so that he can leave the country she is unable to refuse him.

Despite the platonic nature of their relationship, Stephanie finds herself increasingly attracted to her mysterious new husband. But when Stephanie introduces Sergei to her Aunt Marina, a Russian who defected to Paris whilst accompanying her father on a political mission, he appears to know more about Marina's past than Stephanie. Could Marina be the real reason why he has come to Paris? As it becomes increasingly clear that Sergie is harbouring more than one secret, Stephanie is forced to question whether their first meeting was as accidental as it seemed . . .

An evocative, powerfully written and thoroughly captivating novel, 'The Angels of Russia' was previously published on the Internet. It caused a media storm when it became the first electronically published book to be considered for the Booker Prize.
