The People's Act of Love by James Meek

The People's Act of Love

by James Meek

Set in Siberia after the beginning of the Russian Revolution, where Czech soldiers are still stationed from World War I, this is a fascinating look at a religious cult, a mystery, and a love story, all in one. Although Meek is British and writes in English, he imbues the book with a Russian sensibility so thoroughly that one feels as if the book has been translated.
