Description
Jimi Hendrix Live in Lviv is a love letter to the beautiful city of Lviv, western Ukraine. Set against the backdrop of life in Ukraine before the present day, this novel explores the strange and often humorous side of cosmopolitan city life.
A ragtag group gathers round a mysterious grave in Lychakiv Cemetery, each with their own unique story to tell. As they team up to uncover the source of "anomalies", their lives become intertwined with those of two lonely old men who will stop at nothing to save their city.
Shot through with Andrey Kurkov's unique brand of black humour and vodka-fuelled magic realism, this affectionate portrait of Lviv is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the world's most intriguing cities.
