The Russlander por Sandra Birdsell
This a sad but moving story about a woman who survived the Russian Revolution when most of her family did not. It is often difficult to read, but told in a gentle way. A great sroty of great courage and the ability to move forward when the world seems to stop.

ColourfulThreads | 3 reseñas más. | Feb 18, 2021 | Focuses on a young girl growing up in pre-World War I Russia as a Mennonite. The last quarter of the book is quite disturbing portraying the suffering that these people went through. Sparse prose adequately tells of the hardships.
Years ago, I read Sandra's book, The Russlander. This book is a sequel to that novel. Dry in some spots, but a well written book overall.

I picked this up because it was on a "best of 2010" list but quickly realized it was not my cup of tea. Unlikeable characters and I think the word "penis" was used far too early on for it to be anything other than unsettling. No thanks.
