The Girl from the Metropol Hotel: Growing Up in Communist Russia by Ludmilla Petrushevskaya

5.0

I had to put this aside for awhile but I knew I'd love it...and I did! She is probably my favorite female writer of all time, her voice never fails to make my soul blaze with joy? wonder? a weeping, gulping thankfulness to be alive? I can't explain it. Even when she's writing about filth, and bedbugs, and being abandoned over and over again. No...ESPECIALLY when she writes about these things.
