My Book Reviews

  A sad but very good novel. It is the story about a Hindu family consisting of father, mother and two sons, who are twins, living on the island of Trinidad. The story is being told by the point of view of the father, one of the sons and a Roman Catholic priest. It shows a bit of common life on the island, family connections, expectations and disappointments. Very awful disappointments... 5 stars very much deserved!

An amazing selection of short stories situated in the Ukrain during the period just before the fall of the USSR and right after that. It shows the absurdity of bureaucracy on the highest level and the lack of any regulations after the fall of the USSR. I loved every one of the stories; they are all connected and give a great view of life in this period of time. Highly recommended by me. 5 stars well deserved.
