A fairytale story and cleverly designed plot that is full of
symbolism having to do with the Russian soul and nature. It's a
nice, relaxing read with beautiful language and descriptions of the
Russian folkways. The Russian-Afghanistan war is mentioned as a
gross afterthought, but not too heavily so as to distract the
reader from the main story about a Russian girl coming of age and
losing her English expatriate father in Egypt. Even the hardships
of the Russian poor and the father's imprisonment are crafted so as
to present a glimpse of present social situations without being
overdone. All in all, it's a lovely tale with strong characters
that give the reader a taste of Eastern life, its joys and its
difficulties.
