This is a beautifully written history of the Russian people, told in novel form. I can't help but compare Rutherfurd to Michner, in that the history is so compelling and the people and events seemed to come alive as I read about them.His other books, Sarum and The Forest are about England, and as deeply interesting. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction. I learned so much about Russia and the Russian people, and I will never forget the thrill of learning it in such a beautiful way.
