Romance in Russia, Dec 23 2009
By Imogen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: PICADOR SHOTS - 'A Good Man' (Paperback)
A tiny book about the dimensions of 2 x 1.5 thumbs with the short story "A Good Man" and a preview chapter of the novel "Self-Help". AGM blends a mountainous trek through a Russian winter storm with a nostalgic romance in an isolated house amid Yelena and Pavel's family. The protagonist Ivan braves both the elements of nature and the past decade of time to now perform good, helpful deeds and reconnect with Yelena. The writing describes just enough interaction between the wintry outdoors and Ivan's physical stamina and the house's politically aware occupants and Ivan's emotional composure to keep the story alive to the next development; the story closes with sparks of wonder and acceptance.
