The Revolution of Marina M. by Janet Fitch
5.0
TRIGGER WARNING FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT.
This was such an interesting read and after 800 pages I am still really eager to read the sequel! This is a really good book for anyone wanting to learn about all the absolute chaos of Russia/Soviet Union of the 1900s. If you enjoy this time and place already though, it's still an enjoyable read. It's crazy how much changed from day to day! Marina is so fascinating and not some pure virginal priviledged girl. She makes mistakes, she gets hurt, she grows, she learns and then she screws up again. She is not perfect but a realistic character--clearly trying to be a good person in an extremely difficult time period and stage of life.
