This novel is one that will draw you in right from the beginning. It is a great story - one that will also give you insight into the lives of the Russian people during the time of great turmoil and change. The historic details are well researched, and so besides thoroughly enjoying reading this book, I learned a lot.The story is told through the eyes of one young girl, Marina. You will follow Marina as she lives her life day by day. You will capture an insight into her "impossible dreams", the limitations under which she and her family live, the major changes her country goes through in 1991, and the turmoil, uncertainly yet hope that Marina, her family and friends experience during and after the changes.It is a great story - one of "coming of age" both for Marina and her country. I highly recommend you pick up a copy. I could not put it down once I started reading.
