MY THOUGHTS
This is the first book that I have read by this author. This time period is not one that I read about quite often. I was drawn to this book since I wrote a paper on the Women's Battalion of Death. (Which if you did not know, was a all female combat unit that was formed by a peasant) This book is well researched and a must read. i felt like I was getting a history lesson throughout the entire book. I did not realize that there were Russian Mennonites. However, this book gave us a peek into their lifestyle.
This book starts off a little confusing but after a chapter or two, you are able to follow along nicely. The author does a great job filling in family history. This book is set in 1914 in Russia. I love the way that the author writes the setting. The author has written characters that are relatable and likeable. I will be looking for the next book in the series.
Thank you to the author and Just Read book tours for allowing me to read this story --- all thoughts are my own.
