The Art Nouveau Dacha  

‘The particular appeal of this book (is how) its arts-and-crafts ethos, echoing that of William Morris in Victorian Britain, speaks directly to our contemporary traditionalists, but its embrace of functional simplicity speaks just as directly to the 21st-century heirs of the Bauhaus movement..’

Timeless  

‘A tumultuous, Romeo and Juliet-ish tale of love between a Georgian Prince and a Russian Princess… the melodrama shifts effortlessly from Swiss mansions to castles in the Caucasus… This strange and touching romance reminds us of a happier side to Russian-Georgian relations.’

David Winner, Financial Times, Sept 20th 2008   Read review

'Essential reading for anyone interested in the Caucasus, "Timeless" will sit on your shelf between "Ali & Nino" and "The Sabres of Paradise"'.
