karinlib's review against another edition
3.0
This is a fictional account of the life of Alexander Berkman (Andrei B. in the story) and Emma Goldman (Louise G. in the story) and their anarchist activities in the early 20th century. The translation was well done, the story flowed nicely. My only complaint is that the story jumped around a bit, and at times I had trouble figuring out which character was narrating.

I received this book from Bellevue Literary Press and Library Thing . This was an Early Reviewer copy. I loved the writing in this very atmospheric novel which bounced between Czechoslovakia and New York City. I did find the story a little "disjointed" as it bounced between differing characters, times, and locations and I never did figure out what the plot of the novel was. Everyone in the novel was always on the way to do something, but no one ever seemed to get anything done.
