4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating and compelling, but not as good as the first one, 19 April 2004
By Nicholas Dunn (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Don Flows Home to the Sea (Modern Classics) (Paperback)
I bought this after enjoying the first book of the series, 'Quiet Flows the Don'. While still very enjoyable the story lacks a lot of the excitement and interest of the first book. It follows directly on from the first volume centering around the lives of the same characters and shows how their lives continue after the events of the first book. The earlier parts of the book are set against the backdrop of the Civil War and we get to see the effects of this traumtic period on the characters in the village.
Without the love affair between Gregor and Aksinia the story is less compelling and less exciting and the story seems slightly less colourful than the first volume. It might sound like I'm criticising it, but there isn't actually anything wrong with it. It's just that 'Quiet Flows the Don' raised my expectations so that this tends to suffer from the comparison. This is a great book, and I'd still recommend it, but inevitably it just doesn't quite reach the same dizzy heights as its predecessor.
