Marina Makarova is a woman of privilege who aches to break free of the constraints of her genteel life. Swept up on the tides of the Russian Revolution, Marina joins the marches for workers' rights, falls in love with a radical young poet, and betrays everything she holds dear, before being betrayed in turn. As her country goes through tremendous upheaval, Marina's own coming-of-age unfolds, marked by deep passion, devastating loss, and the private heroism of an ordinary woman living through extraordinary times.

Long and sprawling, but enthralling and enchanting. Incredibly well researched and great choice of Audible narrator in Elena Shmulenson, clearly a native Russian speaker, which made all the difference in the world.
It was a little ‘chick lit' for my tastes, but I I enjoyed it all the same. I was already too far in before I found out that this is only part 1; had I known that, I would have left it, and now I'm left without satisfaction.
I can't even begin to imagine how an author undertakes such a huge novel, but Janet Fitch has done marvelously well in my humble opinion. The writing is literary and poetic.
