Hm, I think this was one of the cases where it was me and not the book. The writing/translation was good (I speak Russian but not well enough to read a novel in the language, would have love to, though). I just couldn't get invested in the characters. This time jumping between the two timelines got me confused; that may not even be the right word. My brain wasn't processing the jumps well for some reason. I may reread the book at some other time. Maybe it wasn't the right time for me and the book. But what I found fascinating was the timing of the book release since it nicely describes the difference between the Russian and the Ukrainian mentality/culture. While this is a work of fiction, I believe that if this is something that interests you, this book is a great start.
Thank you, Netgalley and the author/publisher, for the opportunity to read and review an advanced reader's copy of this book. This in no way affects my review, all opinions are my own.
