The Linden and the Oak ReviewMark Wansa's work of historical fiction is the first English-language novel to deal with Carpatho-Rusyns accurately, historically, and in an aesthetically satisfying manner. It captures the psychology of Rusyn village life exceptionally well. Beautifully written, rich in imagery, and steeped in the traditions of Rusyn folklore, the novel captures a situation that resonates not only with Rusyn-Americans but with all Americans who trace their background to Eastern Europe, and indeed, with all Americans who remember the stories of immigrant ancestors.
Wansa's characters are fully drawn individuals with whom the reader can immediately identify. From the first chapter, the reader feels the need to know their fate, which is described through the narrative in a leisurely, traditional poetic style. The dramatic historical background of the eastern front of World War I, portrayed here for the first time in English-language fiction, provides drama and suspense. And the resolution, at once poignant and brutal, captures the untold reality of many American beginnings.
In the Slavic tradition, The Linden and the Oak recalls such novels as Tolstoy's War and Peace and Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago, where the reader follows the progress of history through the lives of truthful and engaging characters. The Linden and the Oak is both instructive and entertaining. A fun and satisfying read! You won't want it to end.The Linden and the Oak Overview
