The White Russian | 
bailedDNF. I‘m usually all for novels featuring any aspect of Russian history and culture but after 4 chapters, the book just did not pique my interest or compel me to read on. I may pick it up again in the future but for now I have other books on my TBR I‘d rather turn to 🤷🏻♀️
#TBRtemptation post! Evie's a rebellious American who heads to jazz-age Paris, where her grandmother lives. But her grandmother dies, leaving her with dying wish: find a man called Zhenya. With Jean, a Russian writer, by her side, Evie delves deep into Paris' Russian émigré community to find answers. But while the continent's in war-like turmoil, she must deal with murder plots, conspiracies, & illicit affairs. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?
This novel, written by an award-winning journalist, was inspired by a true story of "a kidnapping of a White Russian general in Paris." An ex-pat American in Jazz Age Paris, family secrets, romance, politics, friendship. This looks terrific. (Plus I get to drink the photo prop cocktail!)
