Life and Fate by Vasily Grossman
Donated by Marylaz, who says...
One of the only books I’ve reread. Inspired in structure and scope by Tolstoy’s War and Peace, it is amazing moving eye-opening interwoven lives, relationships and devastating experiences of Soviet characters caught up in the Second World War, from scientists to the siege of Stalingrad. Written by the humane intelligent soviet journalist Grossman. Banned for decades. Stunning.
