It is quite dark read in spite the fact the book is about love (of course in quite extremely weird way). Probably the strangest book I've read this year. @Cliff – yeah you’re right.

I hate to divide literature but I'd say this book is slightly more for male readers than female ones. Maybe I'm wrong but that's my impression. @Cliff - Thanks for stopping by! Indeed part that describes life in gulag is terrifying. You've read the book, or you've based comment on my review? I'm looking forward to read more Meek's books (his journalism is amazing) @Henry – you should read it (I would give you mine copy but it’s already gone).

The horrors of the gulag are inconceivable and Meek's ability to realistically portray that setting, that era, speaks well of his ambition and talent as a writer. Good post, insightful...

The setting, characters and background story... sounds like a novel I should read. Very interesting Milan. The setting, characters and background story… sounds like a novel I should read.
