A review by mimima
November 1916 by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

4.0

Just as it felt right to read [b:August 1914|216512|August 1914|Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1311971738s/216512.jpg|900293] in August of 2014, it felt right to read this one in this month. Another fascinating glimpse into the Russia of 1916, rotating views between fictional and real characters. Although I felt that some of the historical accounts dragged just a touch and sometimes the sheer volume would cause you to get to a person who you didn't remember, I thought the ending was absolutely sublime. I am disappointed that I won't be able to read the next two knots in their proper time, as they have yet to be translated into English. (I'll keep working on my Russian to read in the original- someday, someday)
