The Man From St. Petersburg

• The Man From St. Petersburg - Ken Follett

I really enjoyed this book. Ken Follett tends to write historical fiction and this book is about events leading up to World War I. The British are in desperate need of an alliance with Russia prior to the outbreak of World War I and a Russian Revolutionary will do anything to keep that peace from happening. There's the occasional soap opera moment when everything seems to be going wrong and there's always that plot twist, I found it rather entertaining and a good depiction of how young ladies were expected to live in England during the early 20th century. Plus, the book teaches you a little about women's quest for suffrage.
