Description
A Terrible Country by Keith Gessen explores the complexities of family, identity and ideology in contemporary Russia. When Andrei Kaplan moves to Moscow to care for his elderly grandmother, he finds himself navigating the city's changing landscape and confronting the legacy of communism. As Andrei settles into his new life, he must balance his own ambitions with the demands of those around him, including his sharp-witted but forgetful grandmother, and a beautiful young activist named Yulia. This nuanced novel captures the intricacies of personal desire, radical politics and the challenges of ageing in a rapidly changing world. Through its thoughtful portrayal of family relationships and urban life, A Terrible Country offers a compelling insight into Russia's current social and political climate.
