Description
Flight from the USSR is a gripping novel based on one of the most infamous events of the 1980s: the hijacking of an airplane by seven young people seeking to escape the Soviet Union. This daring move was met with widespread public reaction, with some viewing the young rebels as heroes and others as terrorists.
The book follows the leading characters as they navigate their motivations and aspirations, set against a backdrop of rebellion and freedom. In this era where jeans were a symbol of defiance, Turashvili's portrayal is both nuanced and thought-provoking.
