Life and Fate

by Vasily Grossman
I read this book after a heavy sell on the BBC and by the publisher Vintage in September this year. I have to confess that I found it a bit of a struggle. There were a lot of intertwining stories giving a fantastic picture of how difficult and disjointed living through war can be, both for families and a community as a whole.
Having said this, I found the stories too disjointed and struggled throughout remembering who was who. Not as good as I was hoping it would be. 6/10
