The Kindness of Enemies

Description

Spanning present-day Scotland and nineteenth-century Russia, The Kindness of Enemies is a powerful story of love, betrayal, and the shadows of history.

Natasha, a historian, is researching the life of Imam Shamil, the legendary warrior who defended the Caucasus against Russian conquest. His tale of courage, captivity, and loss comes vividly alive as she unravels the fate of his son, once held at the glittering court of the Tsar.

The past collides with the present when Natasha discovers that her brilliant student, Oz, is Shamil’s descendant. Drawn to him and the magnetic world of his family, she soon realises others are watching him too. As suspicion deepens, Natasha must confront the possibility that everything she values—her career, her integrity, even her safety—stands in jeopardy.
