Jane Marlow's debut book is a wonderfully written 25-calendar year saga of two households - one given birth to of noble traditions and the other bound as serfs to the noble's home. Set through the mid-1800s in the great grain fields of Russia, Who Is to Blame? employs the lives of two star-crossed serfs, Elizaveta and Feodor, torn apart by their own families and the cathedral while simultaneously stuck in the inhumane life of poverty to which they were born. At the other end of the variety, Count number Maximov and his family struggle to maintain harmony amidst a tapestry of deception and debauchery woven by the count's son. The storyline twists further when the tsar emancipates 20 million serfs from bondage as the rural gentry's life of privilege and carelessness has used its final bow and far of Russia's nobility encounters possible financial wreck. Aficionados of historical fiction will be captivated by the lyrical move of Marlow's intertwining reviews of love, damage, courage, and pain against her backdrop of social upheaval. The novel's riddles move subtly throughout, spurring listeners to ponder where in fact the blame actually sits. In the end, we must utilize our very own hearts to understand the depths and quandaries of the author's perplexing question.
