[Scheduled] Doctor Zhivago Chapters 5/6

A lot happened in these two chapters, so let's do a quick recap.

We have the war on the front lines ending and Yurii and Lara heading home. Yurii wants to ensure Lara does not think he's in love with her, but she squashes that pretty squarely before leaving the town. We see a death and then Yurii leaves as well

In Chapter 6 the Zhivago family goes through a tough time, and it's unclear if they are going to survive until they head back to Urals.

So that's a very quick and dirty recap. Tell me what you think of the book so far. Who is your favorite character? Any predictions?

I know I came into the story knowing nothing, and I find myself looking up Russian history to see what is happening. If anyone has an understanding of the time frame this was occurring, please, share your insights!

Looking forward to hearing from you!
