    Newly reunited lovers Janna and Serge thought the world had given them another chance at happiness.

    On their return flight from Egypt, Janna watches in horror as Serge is beset by an inexplicable illness. Fighting for his life, deep in delirium, death makes Serge a favorable offer... ‘let go and let death take him.’
    Janna can hardly believe Serge’s feverish ramblings as she overhears snatches of their insane conversation.

    *These stories are unconventional women’s fiction, told in the uniquely Russian voice of Janna Yeshanova. Though she was forced to flee her beloved homeland, leaving a piece of her heart behind, she will always and forever be Russian.*
