Description

After a long, dangerous escape from Tsarist Russia, Artem Samsurov might have reached sanctuary in Brisbane, Australia, but that doesn't stop him trying to create a socialist paradise with his fellow emigres and workmates. And despite getting entangled with an attractive female lawyer, then charged with the murder of an informer, he never loses hope that one day the revolution will come.

But when he returns to Russia in 1917 to fight alongside his comrades, he cannot know whether it will succeed, or at what cost. In this enthralling novel, Thomas Keneally brings to life a seismic episode in world history from an unusual, intimate perspective.

Basing his story on a real figure, he captures what it was like moment by dramatic moment for the men and women caught up in the maelstrom, and explores the passions, ideals and terrible compromises that fuelled it.
