Thanks for that mini-book report, Gretchen! I love all things Russian, too, so will add this to my list of books I must have....I appreciate the narrative histories. Sounds like this one is highly readable. Glad your Solveig is getting better this week.....poor sick babies! Her cousins in NJ, too...you don't know how often we look at your pictures and it helps us not feel too lonesome for our MN peeps. Sharon
