The author's note sets this book as a way of understanding Ukraine, through understanding its people, geography, history. I think it did do a good job of introducing this, and really setting a scene of the coutry.

For me, though, bits of the plot seemed quite disparate, and various threads didn't tie up, or just fizzled out, for my liking.
