This is the second book of Ulitskaya's that I have read. I really enjoy the breadth of her work and how seamlessly she moves through time and perspective. It does sometimes take a moment to remember characters and their relation to each other. However that didn’t diminish my enjoyment and, just like Jacob's Ladder, this book taught me a lot about Russian/Soviet culture. A pleasure.
