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.

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