Russka

Panoramic, sweeping, monumental, haunting: a story of four families which spans the centuries of Russia.

An historical family saga like the author's 'Sarum', but this time set in Russia. The destinies of four families cross and criss-cross through the narrative, but the focus is on one Russian village and its part in history - the part played by ordinary people rather than kings and tsars.
