On leaving New York for Moscow to look after his elderly grandmother, Andrei Kaplan returns all his library books. This book is going the right way………….Zoom meeting at 4pm on 3rd Nov. Meeting ID and passwords emailed in advance.
A Terrible Country by Keith Gessen
We had a mixed bag of reviews at the meeting. The good reviews loved the insights into the harshness of life in Moscow and the wonderful writing on the relationship with the grandmother. The negative reviews cane from the portrayal of the depressing lives that people led and the fact that the story/action really happened in the last part of the book. Overall, most thought it an interesting book and were happy that they had read it.
