5 Stars • Two words told me this was the book for me. #Romanov #JohnBoyne
"The House of Special Purpose" by John Boyne is a historical novel that intertwines the personal story of protagonist Georgy Jachmenev with the tumultuous backdrop of the Russian Revolution. Set in the early 20th century, the narrative follows Georgy, a young peasant boy who inadvertently saves the life of the Tsar's uncle ⬇️
A mammoth analysis of the Russian revolution that is well worth a read. Figes broaches the historical figures with a compassionate but critical eye, scrutinising key events that led to the overthrown Romanovs, revolution, and catastrophic change for so many. The repercussions of which are still felt a century later. It is endlessly fascinating.
Here‘s the thing, was this great literature? No. However, did I turn the pages quickly because I was so invested in the story? Yes, and sometimes that‘s all you need from a book. #BookedInTime #RussianRevolution
