In the summer of 2008, Andrei Kaplan moves from New York to Moscow
to look after his ageing grandmother, a woman who survived the dark
days of communism and witnessed Russia’s violent capitalist
transformation. She welcomes Andrei into her home, even if she
can’t always remember who he is. Andrei learns to navigate
Putin’s Moscow, still the city of his birth, but with more
expensive coffee. He looks after his elderly – but surprisingly
sharp! – grandmother, finds a place to play hockey, a café to
send emails, and eventually some friends, including a beautiful
young activist named Yulia. Capturing with a miniaturist’s brush
the unfolding demands of family, fortune, personal ambition,
ideology, and desire, A Terrible Country is a compelling novel
about ageing, radical politics, Russia at a crossroads, and the
difficulty – or impossibility – of actually changing one’s
life.
