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.
