I liked what I read of this but I confess, I didn't finish it. I think I'm a little Russia-d out at the moment.

Really interesting piece of writing that reads more like a series of sketches than a single monolithic narrative. You can see how the writer found fame as a playwright, from the way she uses dialogue and humour. The book chronicles her journey south to escape the Bolsheviks and - although the events took place over 100 years ago - sadly there is a lot here that resonates today.
