Red Plenty by Francis Spufford

4.0

Spufords book isn’t an ordinary retelling of history, rather it adopts fictional take to present the story of the Khrushchev era. It usually isn’t my go to as I prefer non fiction and straight telling of information, but this book really caught my interest. It allows the reader to understand what the Soviet Union was aside from the common knowledge. You can understand the state from civilians, workers, party members, government officials pov which I feel just adds to the historical interpretation of perhaps the defining nation of the 21st Century.
