Rezensionen

Armed with years of firsthand experience and knowledge, Howard Amos draws a compelling and unsparing account of the lives of many ordinary, and extraordinary, Russians, delivering their stories of disillusionment, hope, love, and memories in an unflinching style laced with both cynicism and empathy. Truly kaleidoscopic and unique in its reach, this is a superbly written and unusual book that is sometimes difficult to read but is ultimately absolutely unforgettable.
