FIC: the Girl in the Photographashen_keyAugust 28 2012, 09:04:35 UTC
She picked up the book on a whim, but all things considered, it hadn't been a terribly whimsical whim. The cover showed two young girls sitting on some grass in the sun, the older one blonde and maybe six or seven. The younger looked more like three, and she had a halo of red curls. Both were grinning.
The title was 'The Girl in the Photograph', but it was the smaller subtitle that led to Natasha picking up the book from the non-fiction new releases section. She had been a girl in the system whom the system had vanished, as had her sisters, so the 'and Mother Russia's Other Missing Children' had caught her eye.
The author was a Tamara Sharonova, Natasha noted, and she opened the book and started flicking through the pages.
Then she frowned, turned the pages back to the dedication.
To my cousin, Nataliya Alianovna Romanova, read the page wherever you are.
