It took me a minute to truly care for the characters, but I was never not invested as someone with a degree in Russian and International Relations and who has lived/studied in Russia. This will be one I reread and reread again and I again I think. Even if I did figure out a thing or two pretty quickly, other surprises really threw me. And one I still haven’t figured out and it’s going to drive me nuts until I do.

I would have given this book a 5* if they hadn't tried to make t so twisty/ turny. Its okay to draw a straight line in telling a story.
Imperial Russian meets bolshivk agitator and fall in love. Their story is told piecemeal throughout the novel. From the fall of The White Palace, the Seige of Lenningrad, to the rise of democracy they loved each other.
Not a bad book, rather enjoyable.
