Why read it?
1 author picked Red Winter as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love books that include unusual locations and little-known events. Red Winter takes place in the 1920s in Siberia when the pogroms came and disrupted the peaceful existence of a small town in the frozen north. Like my book, which is about the creation of a Scottish colony in Central America, Red Winter offers the reader an opportunity to learn about a largely unknown history.
From Sherry's list on historical novels to get lost in.
