RUSSKA
This thick book, like its predecessors SARUM and LONDON (ROM for October 1997), are by Edward Rutherfurd. Some of us read SARUM and talked about it so much that most of us read it and commented on it over time.
Following the telling of the other two, RUSSKA starts in ‘way back when’ and follows the families to nearly the present time.
RUSSKA is a particular area of Russia before it was really Russia and is a great history lesson without being boring, full of dates, and things you’re supposed to memorize in order to pass that test.
I would recommend to those who aren’t squeamish about 800-1000 pages but a quite engrossing tale. If you liked SARUM and/or London, then you should like RUSSKA.
