Bell brings readers into the lives of Russians and expatriates from the West caught up in Russia’s fight to realize its new freedom after the fall of communism. Set during the weeks leading up to the siege of the nation’s parliament, the novel explores the power of the past to threaten our future. In this richly textured rendering of the period, Bell brilliantly links the lives of English teachers, a disillusioned communist, an icon painter and a woman struggling to translate the most important word of her Freedom.

The characters and their stories throughout this book are well intertwined. It is very beautifully written, almost poetic.

Certain Freedoms by Robert Bell

This is a beautiful literary read!
It starts and ends in high action and throughout its an interesting weaving love story that has the reader asking whether the romance is on, off, on, and it keeps you guessing to the last.

There are many unexpected twists and turns in the character's past that have brought them all to this place at this time in history.

To me it's a unique and interesting story.

I would totally recommend this story to anyone liking historical or romantic fiction as well as literary reads.
