Book #11~Family Pick: Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak

In honor of our beloved mother, grandmother and book club president Dorothy...

For the months of November and December we have chosen as a family to read an epic novel to end the year with.




As described on Amazon...

Doctor Zhivago is the story of the life and loves of a poet/physician during the turmoil of the Russian Revolution. Taking his family from Moscow to what he hopes will be shelter in the Ural Mountains, Zhivago finds himself instead embroiled in the battle between the Whites and the Reds. Set against this backdrop of cruelty and strife is Zhivago's love for the tender and beautiful Lara, the very embodiment of the pain and chaos of those cataclysmic times.




Below you will find a link to the trailer of the movie made in 1965.
