I also don't necessarily have to like the characters in the books that I read, so the fact that Berta is not really a sympathetic character doesn't scare me away. This sounds like a great read and one that I'd like to try.

Although I don't read many books about Russia, anything about the region, or war, appeals to me - I'll pick this up if I happen to see it.<br /><br />(And need I say that WWI, in particular, is even more interesting to me now than it usually is, thanks to Downton Abbey? Would love to explore more fictional stories of the war.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
