The war and separation are behind us. Tatyana and Alexander, who met in Leningrad in 1941 and then separated for many years, are together again. But where is the former happiness? Haven't they proven to each other that their love is stronger than the world's evil? They have a wonderful son growing up, they live in the country they chose. However, both cannot overcome the alienation that separates them. The path to each other turns out to be thorny; in the US during the Cold War, fear and mistrust reign, threatening their family. Tatyana and Alexander move from state to state, finding no refuge, like a tumbleweed deprived of roots. Will they be able to find a real home in post-war America? Or will the ghosts of the past reach them to darken even the fate of their firstborn?

"The Summer Garden" is the final novel in the trilogy by Pauline Simons, an American writer who was born in the Soviet Union in 1963 and moved to the United States with her family ten years later. Many years later, Polina returned to Russia to find material for her book and to go through the difficult trials that befell them together with the characters.

The novel is being published in a new translation.
