The movie was so much better. I loved the idea of the story and the swept away love story, but the writing was just meh at best to me. It was chaotic to follow and skipped time periods without any warning. The author also assumes the reader knows Russian history. I had to do a Russian history overview before reading the book because otherwise I would not have understood much of what was actually happening
