A review by gwenlc
Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak

4.0

Not a love story - a story about the human condition and suffering. So many relevant parallels to today. Revolution really is harder when the weather is awful. I keep forgetting how we're just beholden to nature's whims. Extremely well-written. So incredibly complicated - make a character diagram and familiarise yourself with Russian history first. The first half was more interesting than the second half.
