Young men across the former USSR face violence at home and in the military. Two pairs of brothers share a fierce, protective love. A chorus of women recount their stories and those of their grandmothers, former gulag prisoners who settled their Siberian mining town. A 1930s Soviet censor painstakingly corrects offending photographs deep underneath Leningrad, bewitched by the image of a disgraced prima ballerina.
This stunning, exquisitely written collection introduces a cast of remarkable characters whose lives intersect in ways both life-affirming and heartbreaking. From the New York Times best-selling author of A Constellation of Vital Phenomena - dazzling, poignant, and lyrical interwoven stories about family, sacrifice, the legacy of war, and the redemptive power of art.
