Review
A superb novel about fantasy and reality ... It is Makine's acheivement to convey the essential, with economy, grace and beauty (Scotsman)
Great literature, necessary and profound ... We inhabit the narrator's mind more intensely than any boy's mind since Marcel's in a A LA RECHERCHE DU TEMPS PERDU (Independent)
He communicates brilliantly the exquisite agony of nostalgia (Literary Review)
Beautifully written ... A deceptively profound novel. Makine's wonderful economy of image and phrase convey far more than one could think possible about the Russian soul (Daily Telegraph)
Book Description
The first novel to win both the Prix Goncourt and Prix Médicis, by a Russian emigré - a stunning tale of a Soviet boy's love affair with the West, as portrayed by his enigmatic French grandmother.
