Synopsis
An intimate portrait of 200 years of Russian history, drawing on the memoirs, letters and artwork of the author's family archives, discovered on a visit to the remote village of Sergievskoye. Schemann covers 19th century Russia with czar and church, peasants and masters; the revolution; then exile and destruction of the family estate.

Review
Russia is a land of far-flung villages, even though most of its history has been made in the cities. In this affecting narrative, New York Times correspondent Serge Schmemann returns to his ancestral village of Koltsovo, 90 miles south of Moscow, to plumb the histories of both his forebears and the country. Drawing on a range of archival material, Schmemann offers a narrative as packed with names, incidents, and memories as any Tolstoy novel. His search for roots yields a compassionate portrait of a nation in difficult times that is full of details about daily life.
Review
'Among its many merits are its integrity (and) its insights into the Russian soul' -- SUNDAY TIMES
'Evokes the flavour of prerevolutionary life better than any history' -- SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
