It was a good read; however the ending was too unrealistic. I feel like it didn’t have to throw a large plot twist for it to be a good book. It kinda ruined the book for me.
My wife loved the book so to each his/her own.

I read it more as what Russia lost during all the changes in the early 20th century. That and just a good story.

Yea agree. I stopped Irving after Window for a Year. But thanks for the recommendation. I’ll pick up RoC 👍

How does it compare to Gentleman in Moscow? Better?
I’m getting John Irving vibes. Like Owen Meany was a masterpiece and his rest were just ok.

Jeff Winston in Replay.
I read this book in my grandparents library like 20 years ago and reread it almost every year.
