Bed Red, Snow White

This book by Marcus Sedgwick is a brillaint one. Set at the time of the Russian Revolution, it is a fairy tale about a English journalist reporting about the war (WW1). Back in England he has a wife and a daughter, but while he is in Russia he falls in love with a secretary called Evgenia. Although everything seems fine, Arthur Ransome the English Journalist, is accused of being a spy for both the British and the Bolshiviks! War only brings death around, but can Arthur make a new life for himself and Evgenia?
This is brilliant book, even my friends have a copy now. I definitely recommend this to those who are studying Russia, or those who like fairy tales and love stories. Another book I could not put down.
