A review by mark_leenders
Kinderjaren by Leo Tolstoy

4.0

A wonderful book of a young boy, son of a large landholder in a Russia that seems far away in the past.
I read this book aloud at bedtime and found that it would put my audience soon to sleep! I continued to read to the end of the chapter if that happened (it would have taken a year to finish it otherwise...) and pronouncing the names was fun right from the start.
A few months seen through the eyes of a ten year old, a boyhood with beautiful, sad, silly and heartfelt moments.
