A review by margeryk101
Life and Fate by Vasily Grossman

4.0

Now I wish I could listen to the BBC version (inexpensively) that was aired in 2011, as I would like to re-read this someday, as I might have a better grasp of who's who: but realistically, I don't think that will happen in the near future.

I'm just reading the introduction now which says that Grossman didn't get a chance to edit the work. So, with this in mind, it is a wonderful book. Sometimes it does seem unwieldy, but really, it is a story on such an epic scale that I forgive the sprawl.

Certainly, I'm interested in this era of history and will certainly read more.

Better than 'The Master and Margherita'.
