Soviet upbringing meets capitalist reality in this poignant and explicit woman experience tale that pits mystery vs. madness, patriarchy vs. love, and Russian Far North vs. Latin American South. It is a jarring account of the white privilege – both real and perceived, however unsettling the last notion may sound. It is a passing snapshot of the disappearing Soviet mindset, presented in this book free of ideological tenets, as well as of life and politics in a Latin American country as seen by a quickly learning immigrant. It is a tale spanning across cultures and continents, a tale of portraits and musings, violence and horror, sex and mysticism – although, as a F. Garcia Lorca’s line in the beginning warns the reader, it is first and foremost about Love and Death.
