 Russia's very own My Brilliant Friend. Because it's loosely based off of Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, I was worried this novel would fly over my head. But that wasn't the case. I ached for Milka, especially after reading the acknowledgements and learning she was based on the author's best friend in her own Soviet childhood.
