I love good historical fiction, and despite some implausible plot twists, this was a really good novel about the Russian Revolution, Stalinism and the aftermath. Particularly illuminating was the whole thread about how obsessive the true believer Bolsheviks were.

But, and it's a big "but", the narrator's fake Russian accents were so bad and such a major distraction that I almost quit, several times. When just narrating, she was fine, but the accents were appallingly bad. Since we know they weren't speaking Russian-accented English, why not simply continue with her normal accent? It was particularly troublesome because it made the characters, when speaking, much less credible.

I would recommend this book, with that caveat.

Great story; bad reader

It was a unique narrative about the fate of a fervently committed Bolshevik woman, Sashenka, and her tragic rise and fall in the Communist Party. Her journey started in high minded idealism and ended because of paranoid barbarism. The revolution eats its own.

Vague and too real all at once.

What a story, amazing in every way, full of details and emotions and history. Totally worth it! A great listen!

Just amazing

I was pleasantly surprised by the suspense in this historical novel. Despite its relatively slow start, the story held my interest and filled in a missing chunk of what life must have been like for those enthralled by the Bolshevik philosophy that drove the Russian revolution and steered a nation through the dark waters of Stalin's macabre reign. The characterizations are strong, and Sashenka lingers as a haunting figure long after the author's last sentences fade to silence. The reader of this audiobook version is truly excellent--a true artist who brings the novel to full and vibrant life. I hope you enjoy this novel as much as I did.

Fascinating Historical Thriller About A Dark Time
