Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak
5.0
Coincidence rules the lives of two lovers, but not strongly enough to stop the events of the Russian revolution surrounding them.
A story that is larger than life and twice as natural. You just have to unplug requirements for strict realism and go with poetic truths instead: the snow is cold, the cheap stove smokes, the rats knock over the plates. And yet there is life, and love, and loyalties as complex as the Russian names throughout the book.
I liked this. It's densely written, slow, then sudden, then just keeps going on. Recommended for romantics and poets.
