A lovely collection of connected short stories, following the lives of various residents of a building in a small town in Ukraine, and how they lived through the end of the Soviet Union and afterwards.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

Did not finish book. Stopped at 27%.
Started a new job, which meant less time available to read, and also I'm a mood reader and with the changed schedule and stress levels I was no longer interested in reading at this time when I have so many others on my TBR, so I returned it to the library.
