Babayaga by Toby Barlow

4.0

While there is a literary aspect to [b:The Master and Margarita|117833|The Master and Margarita|Mikhail Bulgakov|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327867963s/117833.jpg|876183] that I am not intending to imply, this book reminded me of it in the way that the absolutely fantastic (in the original sense of the word) intermixes with the mundane, this time in late 1950s Paris. Witches, a police inspector turned into a flea, an American ex-pat who is working for a CIA front, LSD trials, it all mixes into a fast paced, gritty, engaging story.
