from the back cover:
Edward Rutherfurd, author of the phenomenally successful SARUM: THE NOVEL OF ENGLAND, now turns his remarkably vast talents to an even larger canvas: Russia. Spanning 1800 years of its history, people, politics, and culture, Rutherfurd's grand saga is as multifaceted as Russia itself: harsh yet exotic, proud yet fearful of enemies, steeped in ancient superstitions but always seeking to make its mark on the emerging world.
In RUSSKA, Edward Rutherfurd transforms the epic history of a great civilization into a human story of flesh and blood, boldness and action, chronicling the lives of four families who are divided by ethnicity but united in shaping the destiny of their land.
copyright 1991, 945 pages, mass market paperback
