I just went through the Russia label and ...thanks! I just went through the Russia label and there's a lot of info and beautiful photos there that I look forward to perusing. I finished "The Endless Steppe" today & really enjoyed it. I've read a lot of books by survivors of that period, but I didn't know that they deported civilians to Siberia. Esther reminded me of Laura Ingalls in "The Long Winter" and Anne of Green Gables for her love of learning and recitation. She was/is an amazing person. The ending was pretty miraculous, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

I really enjoyed it. I read some of the stories to the kids. Father Nathaniel is a real character. :)Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829281551915536894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4381738546785592812.post-31909821051788704352016-01-22T15:42:03.810-08:002016-01-22T15:42:03.810-08:00If you look on my right sidebar under "Labels...If you look on my right sidebar under "Labels", go to either "boys" or "Russia" for my posts on both! I've got quite a few. Your 14-year old might like "An Englishman in the Court of the Czar", written by Christine Benaugh, about the life of Sydney Gibbes, who was tutor to the Romanov children.WendyLady@GoodBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07884742120430546504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4381738546785592812.post-74535246040738064562016-01-22T11:38:30.036-08:002016-01-22T11:38:30.036-08:00Thanks for your blog!

And sometimes the boys "judge a book by it's cover" and won't read it if it's too girly looking. :) We have the Narnia series and Redwall. The Endless Steppe really sounds good. Our 14 year old boy is interested in Russia. Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829281551915536894noreply@blogger.com
