's review

really liked it

In ‘Fathers and Sons’, we come across generational disagreement and conflict, amidst the social upheaval of mid nineteenth century Russia, and it’s where we are introduced to Bazarov.

Bazarov (the product of doting parents) is a bad tempered anarchist, rejecting the social conventions of the day, sparking misunderstandings and arguments aplenty, highlighting the conflict between the old and the new, but it’s a delightful read nevertheless.

Mark Porton Nice review Maureen. Bazarov sounds like the type of bloke who'd be interesting to have a pint or two with.

Mark Porton I really like your write-up Maureen, spot on. Funny, I was checking my comments to your review 18 months ago. I've changed my mind - if Bazarov asked me for a pint now, I'd decline 😬🤣
