Summer 1900. Poverty still reigns in East London, gangsters and whores coexist with dreamers, and bright hopes collide with grim reality. And this is by no means a place for an upper-class woman, but India is determined and stubborn. She belongs to a new generation, and the profession of a doctor, which she received, is also relatively new for women. On the streets of East London, India meets and then saves the life of Sid Malone, one of London's most notorious underworld leaders. Tough, dangerous and at the same time unusually charming, Malone is the polar opposite of India's groom, a rising star in the House of Commons. And although Sid personifies everything that India condemns and rejects, she is inexplicably drawn to this man. She falls under his charm. She is haunted by his mysterious past, where Malone does not allow anyone... In “Winter Rose” the events of the beginning of the turbulent 20th century are vividly recreated. Here are the dens of the criminal world, and hospitals for the poor, and the living rooms and clubs of aristocrats. Between these polar points lies a kingdom of shadows, where the strict laws of time dissolve into secret passions. For the first time in Russian!
