Fun fact: My Dad's an ex-history teacher who taught this period, so I asked him for some recommendations for us. There were others he mentioned but he said Robert Harris within a couple of seconds of me asking, so these alternate histories should be good!

Sounds like it could be quite a politically based book, but intriguing enough to have piqued my interest being about Josef Stalin!
My 12 days of Christmas book advent number 9! 🙂

A fascinating historical story but too many characters to keep straight in my opinion. Might have been better to not do an audio version of this one because of the complicated narrative.

10/12 📚 Easy read and really absorbing, like all Harris books. Interesting idea, not my favourite ‘alternative‘ history from him. ⭐️ 7/10

From one of the most famous Joe's of the 20th Century (#ShoelessJoe) to another, Joe Stalin. Joseph Stalin is one of the lead characters of the early part of one of my favourite books, Archangel by Robert Harris. Unsurprisingly Uncle Joe doesn't come across too well in this book! I can see it now, Uncle Joe : The Musical. This is where someone tells me it already exists. #MelodiousMusicals

Loved Archangel. #backintheussr
