"The resilient Marina has much in common withthe modern heroines of the author's previous books and is a protagonist worthfollowing."-- Publishers Weekly, "Marina's unlikelybildungsroman proves so gripping that it's hard to put down...Fitch depicts [theRevolution] with devastating accuracy and imaginative power...sprawling, majestic."-- Ani Kokobobo , LA Review of Books, " The Revolution of Marina M. takes us deep inside the Russian Revolution and lets us witness it through a pair of remarkable eyes. Marina is a female Zhivago - a poet who uses her intelligence, her passion, and her love of language to interpret and survive the political turmoil around her. Janet Fitch is a wonderful writer and this might be her best book."-- David Ebershoff,author of The Danish Girl and The 19th Wife, "It's a portrait of amoment in time -- of a woman in time, in fact -- that we don't often see, and you'llfind yourself savoring each and every word of this breathtaking novel."-- Chelsea Hassler , PopSugar, "Fitch catches and holds our interest through 800 pages,rewarding us with rich and provocative stories, compelling characters andliterary prose of the very highest order."-- Jonathan Kirsch , Jewish Journal, "Incandescent. Fitch has expertly drawn the world of Russia in 1916 influrries of white, like an exquisite snow globe, and then nudged it to the edge of a precipice, until in onejarring push, it falls. It crashes and each brilliant shard lifts andswirls. Poets, artists, profiteers, soldiers, cult leaders, sadists, idealists,blood, sex, hope all piecing together in a new life, a new country. Thebrilliant Janet Fitch has written yet another powerful, kaleidoscopic novel."-- Cynthia Bond, author of Ruby, "Fitch narrows theRussian Revolution to one woman's perspective, crafting a gorgeous epic that'sa must-read for historical fiction fans."-- Frannie Jackson , Paste Magazine, "In this lusty and intelligent novel, Fitch brilliantly entwines the blooming of a teenage girl with the bursting ofa country, and tells their story with such intensity and urgency you can nearly hear the thundering hoofbeats of time and feel the shaking through the pages. This is an epic deserving comparison to the Russian masterworks -- not for its size, but for its scope, not for its subject, but for the sweep with which it meets it. Rarely have I ever known history tocome so fully, fiercely alive."-- Josh Weil, author of The Great Glass Sea, "Marina is by turns adventurous, foolish, romantic, self-destructive and courageous in this extraordinary coming-of-age tale."-- Jane Ciabbatari , BBC Culture, "Janet Fitch's novel shimmers with vital energy...[she] clearly did an astounding amount of research for the novel, which luxuriates in exotic period details... The Revolution of Marina M. is hard to put down...it is charming and lively and ultimately worth the time."-- Trine Tsouderos , Chicago Tribune, "This epic tale fromthe bestselling author of White Oleander follows Marina Makarova, a young womanliving in St. Petersburg at the start of the Russian Revolution in 1916.Looking to escape from her privileged life, she joins the marches for worker'srights-and finds herself falling in love with the movement and a young radical.In this relatable coming-of-age novel, Marina grapples with a changing worldand struggles to find her place in it."-- Nora Horvath , Real Simple, "A captivating novel starring an unforgettable heroine, The Revolution of Marina M. shows you a side to the Russian Revolution you've never seen before."-- Sadie Trombetta , Bustle, "Fitch captures the epic grandeur of Russiannovelist Leo Tolstoy, situating her characters in the pages of authentichistory. Yet she also infuses her protagonists with transgressive sexual energy...vividlyportraying Marina's sexual awakenings as she falls in and out of love....Readers of Tolstoy, Boris Pasternak, and Margaret Mitchell will thrill to thisnarrative of women in love during the cataclysm of war."-- Barbara Conaty , Library Journal, "This new novel from the author of White Oleander is going to swallow you up entirely."-- Melissa Ragsdale , Bustle, "There's brilliance in this book: concept, structure,style. If the horrors associatedwith the Russian revolution freeze your blood, remember the fire and brimstoneof our own Civil War. Read this novel for the passion of the main character, agirl becoming woman and poet with ten times the vitality and intellect ofScarlett O'Hara."-- Sena Jeter Naslund, author of Ahab's Wife and Abundance,a Novel of Marie-Antoinette, "An achingly lyric chronicle ofthe Russian Revolution seen through the eyes of one of its daughters ofprivilege as she skirts the peripheries of her own adulthood. Fundamentallythough, it is a story of the insurgent politics of a woman's heart -- whom andhow she loves, what governs, betrays, or becomes her. The beauty of thisbook broke me open. Janet Fitch is stunningly, startlingly talented."-- Jill Alexander Essbaum, author of Hausfrau, "Ambitious, vivid, engrossing. Fitch puts flesh and bones on one of the most tumultuous times inhuman history, a vast canvas filled with therising up the oppressed, naïve hope, abrupt reversals and crushing betrayals.The novel is a virtuoso rendition of the time, buoyed by Fitch's impeccableresearch and her bold, unforgettable prose."-- Susan Sherman, author of If You Are There and TheLittle Russian, "Janet Fitch's The Revolution of Marina M ., an epic tale of one young woman's story amid the drama and tragedy of the Russian Revolution, is just the thing to keep you both personally inspired and seasonally appropriate."-- Mary Sollosi , Entertainment Weekly, " The Revolution of Marina M. takes usdeep inside the Russian Revolution and lets us witness it through a pair ofremarkable eyes. Marina is a female Zhivago - a poet whouses her intelligence, her passion, and her love of language to interpret andsurvive the political turmoil around her. Janet Fitch is a wonderful writer andthis might be her best book."-- David Ebershoff, author of The Danish Girl and The 19th Wife, "Fitch'snovel presents a richly described, on-the-street view of the revolution's transformative,often violent throes.... she provides an excellent sense of history's unpredictabilityand shows how the desperate pursuit of survival leads to morally compromisingdecisions...Fitch's cinematic storytelling and Marina's vibrant personality arestandout elements in this dramatic novel."-- Sarah Johnson , Booklist

Synopsis
From the mega-bestselling author of White Oleander and Paint It Black , 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.
