Sinossi

In "Red Love," A. Kollontai presents a powerful exploration of love, desire, and sexual politics in the context of early Soviet society. The narrative intertwines personal relationships with the socio-political upheaval of the time, employing a unique style that blends autobiography with fervent ideological discourse. Kollontai's prose is rich with emotional nuance, deftly capturing the complexities of human intimacy against the backdrop of revolutionary change, making her work both a personal testament and a radical manifesto for women's liberation and sexual autonomy. A prominent figure in the Russian feminist movement and a key architect of Soviet social policy, A. Kollontai's life experiences profoundly inform her writing. Her advocacy for women's rights and her involvement in the Bolshevik Party shape her views on love and partnership, which she articulates with both fervor and insight in "Red Love." As one of the first women appointed to a ministerial position in Russia, her perspective reflects the struggles and aspirations of women during a time of social transformation. Readers interested in feminism, revolutionary thought, and the intersections of personal and political life will find "Red Love" to be an essential addition to their literary exploration. Kollontai's eloquent and courageous voice resonates, offering timeless insights into the nature of love and its potential to inspire social change.

An age gap, celebrity ice queen romance that will pull at the heart strings — even the icy ones!
Sydney MacKenzie, personal assistant to the rich and famous, is looking forward to a well-earned break to go travelling in her beloved VW camper van, Gertie — that is, until Gertie cries off sick. When her boss calls in a favour, one that will pay Sydney handsomely and put Gertie back on the road, she can’t refuse.
Internationally renowned actress Beatrice Russell — adored by her fans and despised by those that know her — is splashed across the tabloids, all thanks to her broken leg. She limps back to her palatial English country estate to convalesce for the summer, where she finds herself in need of yet another new assistant.
Enter Sydney, who doesn’t take kindly to the star’s demands, attitude, or clicking fingers — much less her body’s own attraction to the gorgeous diva. If not for that, and Gertie’s worn-out engine, she would leave tomorrow. Or so she tells herself.
As the summer heats up, the ice queen begins to thaw, and Sydney glimpses the tormented woman beneath the celebrity bravado, drawing her ever closer to the enigmatic actress — sometimes too close.
Can Sydney reach the real Beatrice and help heal her wounds before the summer ends and she returns to filming in the States, or is the celebrity broken beyond repair?
