THE REVOLUTION OF MARINA M.
A sweeping, historical saga of the Russian Revolution – as seen through the eyes of one young woman.
St. Petersburg, New Year's Eve, 1916. Marina Makarova is a young woman of privilege who aches to break free of the constraints of her genteel life, a life about to be violently upended by the vast forces of history. Swept up on these tides, Marina will join the marches for workers' rights, fall in love with a radical young poet, and betray everything she holds dear, before being betrayed in turn.
As her country goes through almost unimaginable upheaval, Marina's own coming-of-age unfolds, marked by deep passion and devastating loss, and the private heroism of an ordinary woman living through extraordinary times.
This is the epic, mesmerizing story of one indomitable woman's journey through some of the most dramatic events of the last century.
Janet read Crime and Punishment as a young teenager, and it cemented a fascination with Russia and its culture and literature that would forever change her life. She took Russian in high school, studied abroad in England with a focus on Russian studies and then spent a summer at the Leningrad Polytechnic University. That summer on the banks of the Neva turned her into a writer and this novel is the culmination of her obsession and a lifetime spent honing her craft.
