The Eighth Life by Nino HaratischwiliMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I read this book with a summer book club over the course of 2 months. We divided the book into four sections and met every 2-3 weeks to discuss each section. It's not an easy book to read, but the story of five generations of a Russian / Georgian family is very compelling. It is told from the viewpoint of one of the younger family members to the youngest. We learn about their ancestors and much about Russian / Georgian history along the way. Typically I shy away from books more than 500 pages, but I'm glad that I met this challenge and had the book club camaraderie to discuss it along the way.
