NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - " Impressive . . . Rutherford has indeed embraced all of Russia."-- The Washington Post Book World Here, Edward Rutherfurd turns his remarkable talents to a vast canvas: Russia. Spanning 1,800 years of its history, people, politics, and culture, Rutherford's grand saa is as multifaceted as Russia itself: harsh yet exotic, proud yet fearful of enemeies, steeped in ancient superstitions but always seeking to make its mark on the emerging world. In Russka , Rutherford transforms the epic of a great civilization into a human story of flesh and blood, boldness and action, chronicling the lives of four families who are divided by ethnicity but united in shapin the destiny of their land. " Rutherford's Russka succeeds. . . . [He] can take his place among an elite cadre of chroniclers such as Harold Lamb, Maurice Hindus and Henri Troyat."-- San Francisco Chronicle

After reading his first book Sarum, which was very good, I am having trouble getting through this one about Russia. It is very dark and troubling. Their development as a people and as country are so incredibly different from us in the West, and often times extremely brutal. I am just to the chapter after " Fathers and Sons" which is a tremendously insightful commentary on just how the seeds came to fruition for the revolution. It is troubling to see our nation about to follow a similar path, rejecting the lessons of the past.
I think the author takes quite a few liberties here and maybe embellishes some and skirts much???
I will have to find some other insights to clarity on Russian history as this may not be too accurate???
