Plot Summary of Leonora: Tulips in Winter
"In 1788, Englishwoman Leonora Carter has two quests: to find her run-away mother and to save her ailing father from his own folly. Russian Count Stropov has his own quests: to catch an embezzling thief and recover his loot on behalf of the Polish King as well as to regain his own ancestors' lost holdings and position at the Russian Court. When Stropov meets Leonora, destiny compells these two forward on a peril-fraught path toward the resolution of their deep problems and the end of their quests."
Regina Pounds, Resident Scholar
