White Nights, Red Morning

Love this Novel series! I purchased this set for my mother's birthday, she is an avid reader and expects high quality writing. She loved them; her friends loved them and so do I! Full of historical informations, but not to the detriment of a great story!

I don't know how Judith Pella continues writing such excellent books one after another. This was another excellent book but I really missed Sergei. I know he died in the last one but I still couldn't get it through my head that he was gone!I was so attached to him throughout the series. This book focuses more on Sergei and Anna's sons, Andrei and Yuri. Andrei pursues his revolutionary ideals, while his older brother takes on the Federcenko name and becomes a respectable Russian doctor. Each of the characters face numerous obstacles in a country that is slowly crumbling to pieces beneath their feet. Another excellent read in the series. The story line never faulters and the characters never become dull or uninteresting. If you loved the first five in the series, then you will definitely love this one as well.

This novel is as well-written as the first and the storyline keeps the reader interested. Five stars for each book in the seven-part series.

The Russian series has been one of the best I've read. These are the kind of books that make learning history exciting! As you read this series, you become so involved in the charcters lives and feelings, it as if you have known them personally. But the authors have done extensive research to make the true history so accurate as the characters walk through life and we view it from their eyes.The struggles and hardships, as well as the joy and happiness, we feel it all. I love the way belief and faith in God,or the search to find it, is protrayed in the lives of each individual.This book is nearing the revolution and you see how family and friends may have had differing opinions and how they dealt with it. The whole series is excellent and keeps you riveted to the end!
