Why read it?

1 author picked Archangel as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A brilliant novel set in 1990s Russia. The plot involves Stalin and one of his deep secrets. The author seamlessly moves the story from the 1930s to 1990s and back. One rarely sees a historical novel so accurate in capturing the historical events and so utterly captivating. It is on par with some of the best thrillers.

From Michael's list on Russia and USSR in the 20th Century.
