Man, did I like it. I want to say it hit me like a freight train, but that's too instant -- it was more like medicine I took that I didn't know would make me dizzy.... lots to think about for me -- in some ways, really related to my own life. It reminded me of Sliding Doors -- though part of what struck me about the pbw -- the part where it was a conscious decision on the main character's part that affected the path the rest of her life took -- is not present in sliding doors --- more of a "fate/timing" kind of thing...........

A good one -- not cheery, but good.... First few pages set in 1930s Soviet Union, rest of the book takes place in 1950's S. Union. From the book flap:
Quote:
| The mere suspicion of ideological disloyalty ... sends millions of innocents into the Gulags or to their executions. Defending the system from its citizens is the MGB, the State Security Force. And no MGB officer is more courageous, conscientious, or idealistic than Leo Demidov. |
Knocked out my desire to trust ANYONE for a while, I think.
Another first novel.
