Sonja's Run
"Hoyt has a fresh, invigorating style that grabs the reader immediately."—The New York Times At the 1852 Christmas party hosted by Tsar Nicholas I, the plucky half-Chinese, half-Russian poet Sonja Sankova decks Peter "Colonel Cut" Koslov, who is infamous for his necklace of ears taken from serfs and Jews. In London that same night, American Jack Sandt, the Matthew Brady of Asia, conspires with Karl Marx to con the tsar into letting Sandt take daguerreotype images inside Russia. So begins this immaculately researched, wildest of romantic wild rides, an odyssey of two lovers fleeing for their lives through the vast reaches of the Russian empire. The period detail is splendid: a supper with I...

Die Sinne
Der vierte Band der Reihe "Die Sinne" widmet sich dem "Geschmack". Über Geschmack lässt sich bekanntlich sehr wohl streiten. Und mit leerem Magen neigt man erst recht zur Reizbarkeit, daher heißt es nicht grundlos: Satt und zufrieden. Welches Menü jedoch jeweils zusagt, daran scheiden sich die Geister – und legen damit den Grundstein für den Starkult besonders kreativer Köche. Essen ist zweifellos höchst befriedigend, kann aber leider auch in maßlose Gier ausarten ... Einigkeit besteht darüber, dass bestimmte, mit Kindheitstagen verbundene Essensdüfte, Gerichte oder Naschereien lebenslang von Bedeutung bleiben, und unwillkürlich – oftmals wehmütige – Erinnerungen wecken. Di...
