The White Russian
The White Russian | Vanora Bennett
4 posts | 3 read | 30 to read
From the author of Midnight in St Petersburg, a novel of love, art, music and family secrets set amongst the Russian migr community of Paris in 1937. Evie, a rebellious young American leaves New York in search of art and adventure in jazz-age Paris, where her grandmother lives. But on arrival, her grandmothers sudden death leaves Evie compelled to carry out her dying wish: to find a man from her past called Zhenya. The quest leads Evie deep into the heart of the Russian migr community of Paris. With the world on the brink of war, she becomes embroiled in murder plots, conspiracies and illicit love affairs as White faces Red Russian and nothing is as it seems. With Jean, a liberal Russian writer by her side, Evie finally seems to have found the passion and excitement she's yearned for. But is she any nearer to discovering the identity of the mysterious Zhenya, or the heartbreak of her grandmother's past?

DNF. I‘m usually all for novels featuring any aspect of Russian history and culture but after 4 chapters, the book just did not pique my interest or compel me to read on. I may pick it up again in the future but for now I have other books on my TBR I‘d rather turn to 🤷🏻‍♀️

This novel, written by an award-winning journalist, was inspired by a true story of "a kidnapping of a White Russian general in Paris." An ex-pat American in Jazz Age Paris, family secrets, romance, politics, friendship. This looks terrific. (Plus I get to drink the photo prop cocktail!)
