studeksbooknook 's review for:
The Last Russian Doll
by Kristen Loesch
Usually any description that involves something along the lines of a “haunting, epic novel” “spanning the generations…” is a huge turnoff for me, but I am SO glad I read this one!
Wow wow wow, The Last Russian Doll was so good! I absolutely could not put this book down and busted through it in one day.
It is helpful to know a bit of Russian history and sociology (the lead up to the Russian Revolution through the aftermath of the fall of the Soviet Union) in order to get the most out of this story, but I think it can stand on its own quite well even for people who are unfamiliar with this part of Russia’s history. If the story wasn’t so strongly based on the very real political, social, and personal ramifications of actual historical events, it would almost be too strange to believe at times.
Although it’s not the author’s first work of fiction, it is her first published novel and it is an incredible debut novel!
