The Free World by David Bezmozgis

3.0

Takes me back to those school's advanced literature classes in my country, reading about the characters having everyday conversations and topics from one apartment to another. Most of the time I was reading someone else's letter and figuring out where they are going to end up in foreign countries. Unfortunately, I had skipped a few pages to keep up with my mental mood. Overall it is well written and easy read. I picked up a few Italian phrases, got to google something about KGB of the Soviet Union and Russian stereotypes.
