Interpretation In Favor Of Books Blood Red, Snow White

There never was a story that was happy through and through.

When writer Arthur Ransome leaves his unhappy marriage in England and moves to Russia to work as a journalist, he has little idea of the violent revolution about to erupt. Unwittingly, he finds himself at its center, tapped by the British to report back on the Bolsheviks even as he becomes dangerously, romantically entangled with Trotsky's personal secretary.

Both sides seek to use Arthur to gather and relay information for their own purposes . . . and both grow to suspect him of being a double agent. Arthur wants only to elope far from conflict with his beloved, but her Russian ties make leaving the country nearly impossible. And the more Arthur resists becoming a pawn, the more entrenched in the game he seems to become.

Blood Red Snow White, a Soviet-era thriller from renowned author Marcus Sedgwick, is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats.

Column Out Of Books Blood Red, Snow White

BLOOD RED SNOW WHITE is a set of three short stories and a fictionalized account of author Arthur Randsome's time in Russia during Russian Revolution. Sedgwick brings readers on a thrilling journey, detailing both sides of war between the Red and the White. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. The writing is quite beautiful in parts, especially in A Russian Fairy Tale."Once upon a time beyond the sunrise, halfway to the moon, and so very far away it would make your feet weep to

You can find the full review and all the fancy and/or randomness that accompanies it at It Starts at Midnight This book was such a gem. It's historical fiction, yes, but so much of it is just plain authentically historical, with some fictional bits. So if you are going into this expecting a fairytale, this isn't one. In fact, the protagonist is a real person , an author in fact. But the fictional and fairytale bits brought the story together so well for me, and made it so appealing!The story is

I don't know what the story was I thought it would be. A snow white re-telling maybe? The blood, the rose....this is definitely a case where I should have read the synopsis.But I did like this one. History abounds on an area and culture and time I know very little of. The story of Arthur was a new one and I did enjoy it. But the story telling, at first, is more fairy tale. it takes you through a bear and a forest and through quite a few timelines and tales.But it slowly morph, so stick with it,

What I enjoy most about Marcus Sedgwick novels are how unusual they are and how different they are from one another. It took a bit of time for me to warm up to this one. While it's definitely interesting to learn more about Arthur Ransome, I just found the storytelling style a touch dry.

Well. I absolutely adored this book. I'm just going to say a couple of things first - it seems that some people are or were under the allusion that this is fantasy/a retelling, even though the blurb makes no such claims. This is straightforward historical fiction, much of it not even all that fictional, and that is just what I expected it to be. As for the title, Blood Red = communists, Snow White = tsarists. This is not any sort of Snow White retelling or similar. If you're looking for high

Like all fairy tales, this story is told in three parts. The main story is the adventures of Arthur Ransome, yes that Ransome, in Russia during the revolution. The first part of the novel is told like a fairy tale. In fact, Sedgwick captures the tone and feeling of Old Peter's Tales. The second is told in third person, and the last section is told by Ransome himself.Sedgwick includes some interesting things in the appendix.While the book does get classified as fantasy, it is fantasy more in tone

Blood Red Snow White is a book about Communist Russia, but above all, a book about ideological hatred. It is a book about how despising all communists and all British is always the wrong idea; people are people above all else. It's an important message and important story, but somehow, I just ended underwhelmed. Let's talk about why. Perhaps my biggest problem is missed expectations; the creativity and pull of the story is just not on par. Sedgwick's books get their power from being different;
