Books

In this section you can read about my latest historical novel, Figures in Silk, and about Portrait of an Unknown Woman: how I got the idea for the stories, how much is truth and how much fiction, a timeline of historical events, and some historical background with maps and pictures.

You can also find out more about my two non-fiction books, The Taste of Dreams: An Obsession with Russia and Caviar, and Crying Wolf: The Return of War to Chechnya.
