Red Shadow (2014)
“When she came to bang on his door, he invited her down to the dacha on an impulse. He was sure his papa would consider this too great a risk but Misha trusted her absolutely.
She agreed at once and they set off with a small picnic. The metro was not running but after a brisk walk they reached Bryansk Station.
The carriage they sat down in was empty and remained so. Misha always enjoyed the slow journey down to Meshkovo. The train stopped at every little station en route and he would sit there w...ith sunshine pouring through the windows enjoying the smell of smoke from the steam engine, and drink in the scents of the forest. Before Mama was taken away, they would travel down for whole weekends. They would wind up the gramophone there and Mama and Papa would dance to one of Chopin’s waltzes in the last light of the evening, while he and his brother and sister sat in the garden with their sketchbooks, pencils and crayons. He felt a deep yearning for those carefree days.
The further south-west they travelled from central Moscow, the greater his unease.MoreLess
