Yes, I can see how this will cause the usual suspects to convulse in ecstasy. Not my thing, I'm afraid. Too Mother Russia, too arsty-farsty, too rich for my blood. My loss, I'm sure. But you know what they say, 'It takes all sorts to make the world.'

Oh, by the way. The author of the book on which this series is based is Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy, not Leo Tolstoy - the author of Anna Karenina, among other novels - although the former's father was remotely related to the latter.
I hope this does not disappoint anyone.
