Rezensionen
Set in Ukraine in 2014, Sergei Lebedev's novel explores continuities of state control and suppression . . . writing both critically and imaginatively about the ongoing here and now . . . Lebedev is a trained geologist, and this is not his first novel to explore continuous human experiences and history with evocations of a grounded place that discloses layered depths.
