These people are a mess, and not in a very interesting way, at least as written here. She's kind of a doormat, putting up with ridiculous humiliation and supposed penury, yet there's always child care available for their largely invisible son, and somehowobsessivereadrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-30195806598894306912019-06-21T18:54:02.182-07:002019-06-21T18:54:02.182-07:00The Women in the Castle, Jessica Shattuck (Germany...The Women in the Castle, Jessica Shattuck (Germany).

Epic Russian story of a man spending the years from 1922 to 1954 living in the Metropol Hotel in Moscow after being confined to house arrest, and weathering the changes in the USSR from his singular position. Quirky, cosmopolitan, amusing, suspenseful -- a grand tale. obsessivereadrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-12836133997486852432019-06-21T18:45:44.315-07:002019-06-21T18:45:44.315-07:00People of the Book, Geraldine Brooks (Bosnia).
