My wife read this book before me and was appalled at the way the Russian aristocracy treated the peasants. The story is told from three perspectives: Eliza Ferriday, a New York socialite; Sofya, a Russian aristocrat and cousin to the Romanovs; and Varinka, a Russian peasant and fortune teller’s daughter.Important themes include using our privilege to help others, using our life to make a difference in the world, loyalty, friendship, family, love, loss, taking risks, determination, charity, privilege/poverty, survival, and fortitude. Yes, this is a tearjerker and I happily admit that Bernard introducing himself to Michael got to me a little. From WW I and the Russian Revolution, from New York, to Paris to cities in Russia, Martha Hall Kelly takes us on a journey back in time from 1914-1921 and to the places where these women’s lives cross.

Eliza takes the threat more seriously than beautiful Sofya, a cousin of the Romanovs who, like most of her ilk, is living in a bubble of denial about the danger that lies ahead. Rose and Bernard later attended Shannon's funeral, and poured a handful of sand into her grave with the other Losties. She grows very close to the child and feels betrayed when she learns that the family will be fleeing to Paris without her.

Rose and Bernard encounter the survivors they have been hiding from for three years in the episode " The Incident".Caldwell's husband was going through health problems during the shooting of the first season, which was the inspiration for Rose's flashbacks in "S. A few passages coil toward melodrama, and one inelegant line after a rape seems jarringly modern, but the spell holds fast.

Other than reused footage from "Pilot: Part 1" in " Exposé", Rose and Bernard do not feature in season three until the twenty-first episode "Greatest Hits". Rose remained quiet for quite awhile before explaining that her husband's fingers swell whenever they fly.In need of domestic help, they hire the local fortune-teller's daughter, Varinka, unknowingly bringing intense danger into their household. So often, (in my opinion), this era is overlooked and I think it's a shame because there are so many wonderful stories to be told. Anderson and Caldwell were given a rough idea of how much they would appear at the start of the seasons.
