A review by miramichireader
Constant Nobody by Michelle Butler Hallett

5.0

I'm giving it 5 stars primarily due to the amount of research that has gone into this work of fiction. This is literary fiction at it's best, set in a time and place of great (but not necessarily good) changes. Temerity and Nikto are "lovers in a dangerous time" and Moscow in 1937 is not the time or place for love. Ms. Butler Hallett creates a mise en scene much like she did with This Marlowe: the reader is fully ensconced in the times of the novel and desires to stay there until the last full stop. Suspenseful and evocative.
