Product Description
Russian Blood. In the early 1980s, Alex Shoumatoff became curious about the history of his family. At that time, both his grandmothers were in their 90s. With a heightened sense of urgency, Shoumatoff collected their stories and reminiscences as White Russian aristocrats, whose way of life had been extinguished by the Russian Revolution. This family memoir is exceptionally well-written and brings together remarkable events and fascinating historical characters. Highly recommended! NY: Vintage Books, 1990. 312 pages. First paperback edition.
