Shelfari edited the description of The Turkish Gambit Saturday, August 1 2009.

• “<An> elegantly spun yarn . . . Akunin’s wonderful novels are always intricately webbed and plotted.” –The Providence Journal It is 1877, and war has broken out between Russia and the Ottoman Empire. In the treacherous atmosphere of a Russian field army, former diplomat and detective extraordinaire Erast Fandorin stumbles upon his most confounding case. Its difficulties are only compounded by the presence of Varya Suvorova, a deadly serious (and seriously beautiful) woman with revolutionary ideals who has disguised herself as a boy in order to reunite with her respected comrade and fiancé. Even after Fandorin saves her life, Varya can hardly bear to thank such a “lackey of the throne” for his efforts. When Varya’s fiancé is accused of espionage and faces execution, however, she must turn to Fandorin to find the real culprit . . . a mission that forces her to reckon with his courage, deductive mind, and piercing gaze.

Shelfari edited the first sentence of The Turkish Gambit Friday, July 17 2009.

• ACCORDING TO ST. AUGUSTINE, woman is a frail and fickle creature, and the great obscurantist and misogynist was right a thousand times over-at least with regard to a certain individual by the name of Varvara Suvorova.
