"So far the story is nicely paced and moves fairly swiftly. Passages jump back and forth between 1917 the end of the revolution and 1913 before the changes. Progress remains slow only because of my eye." — Sep 13, 2022 06:12AM

“Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
