Red Winter by Kyra Kaptzan Robinov
When murderous Bolsheviks infiltrate the city of Nikolaevsk-on-Amur in far eastern Siberia in 1920, Luba's comfortable, upper class life is upended overnight. As her husband is imprisoned and their house overrun with unruly partisan soldiers, Luba finds herself on the run with four small children, her mother-in-law, and epileptic sister-in-law. Pigsties, abandoned warehouses, opium dens are just a few of the places the group seeks refuge as they try to elude capture and stay alive.
The little-known history of this exotic time and place is seen through the eyes of a reluctant heroine grappling with adversity and loss during the dangerous political chaos following the overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II.
Kyra Kaptzan Robinov has woven her family's history into a fictional narrative.
