This is one of the few books I vividly remember reading for the first time. It was in high school, and I was simultaneously fascinated and disturbed by it. Definitely sensed there was more there than I was capable of ‘getting’ at that point in my life. Might have to look into trying it again!

I read this years ago. I dug it but I had to reference to online summaries off and on to know what was happening. I’ve got my eyes on Dr Zhivago soon.

Wow. Ok. That book has been on my shelf for years, now I have to pick it up. For some biased reason, I always assumed it was in the style of 18-19th c. Russian romance.

Great review. Plan to read "The Master and Margarita" in 2024. No, not the P&V translation.
