**Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly, and USA Today
Bestseller!** In the lead-up to the Bolshevik Revolution, one young
revolutionary is condemned to exile in Siberia; a hundred years
later, his ancestors discover his story and learn just how much
history has repeated itself. In the midst of running a long-shot
political campaign, Democratic political consultant John Simon
discovers a 100-year-old manuscript written by his grandfather
Joseph--a brilliant young revolutionary whose exile to Siberia by
the last czar of Russia is just the beginning of an extraordinary
tale of survival, romance, and revolution. Return From Siberia
chronicles not only the Simon family's relationship to each other
and the past, but also the remarkable story of a young man who
sacrificed everything for his political ideals. As Joseph's
manuscript is translated, chapter-by-chapter, the Simon family is
pulled deep into their ancestor's story-- in particular, the bitter
rivalry between two brothers, whose competing visions of the
American Dream are played out on the campaign trail and in their
lives. Return from Siberia is a timely appraisal of modern politics
and society juxtaposed with an inside look into the machinations of
a young political mind 100 years ago. The true story documents an
extraordinary time of political upheaval in Russia and Europe just
prior to World War I while also drawing parallels to current day
American politics and the current philosophical and ideological
debates about immigration, Democratic Socialism, and Capitalism.
Beyond the deep social, political, and philosophical themes, there
is romance, adventure, betrayal, suspense, and the struggles of
families today and in yesteryear. Return from Siberia illustrates
how one modern family's connection to the past helps them resolve
their future.
