I tried to read this for my book club but I give up. Everything I need to know is in the first paragraph, too many adjectives for me. This book is probably fine, but I am not going to spend time hoping it works for me.
I loved this book. The language, the story book quality, the historical parts of early Russia...all of it was absolutely fasinating.
