Helpful Score: 1

I would give this book a 3+. In the beginning, it is fairly bleak and depressing--exasperatingly failing marriages and frigid mother/daughter relationships--so much so that I almost wanted to give up on the book entirely, but I'm glad I didn't. By the end, the tale does resolve itself and in an intelligent and refreshingly unique way. Added plus: some Russian history is woven into the fictional narrative.
