I too am really interested in Russia, I think because the culture seems so unique - like a blend of European and Asian in some ways. I took a European History course this year and I loved the parts where we focused on Russian history, including the revolutions. Unfortunately we didn't go in depth so now I just want to read MORE about it all. I think it all started when I first watched the Disney Anastasia movie as a kid - my sister and I were <i>obsessed</i> with the soundtrack. (And the Winter Olympics definitely exacerbated my love for this country!) Anyyywayyy... I'm not sure this book is right for me, but I definitely want to know more about Russia. I may just have to give <i>The Bronze Horseman</i> a try!<br /><br />P.S.

Sometimes, it can be really interesting to read an author's portrayal of a place or a culture too, especially when done well. Glad this became a good reading experience for you!Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-29637261594757009542014-05-12T15:20:49.297-04:002014-05-12T15:20:49.297-04:00Sounds good.
