Consider My Servant

Consider My Servant moves between a destitute Ukrainian village and the glittering opulence of St. Petersburg, Russia of the 1880's.  It's a book about private fears, anger and love.  It's a book about duplicity, murder, conspiracy and passion.

Jonah and Zeena Chernov are twins who find themselves floundering in the currents of historical events beyond their comprehension.  And because they are not schooled in the ways of duplicity, they become brutalized trying to negotiate their survival.   Each is a heroic figure, albeit a reluctant one.  At times they react well, at times despicably, but they act, because not to act will lead to destruction.
