Review:
"Ulitskaya travels through a century of tangled Russian family history in this lucid saga . . . there is something mesmerizing about the narrative's scale, and patterns emerge: the little control humans have over their lives; the impact of political forces on individuals; the certainty of death, somehow softened by the promise of new birth. This is a challenging yet rewarding epic." --Publishers Weekly
"Nora Ossetsky, a set designer in 1970s Moscow, discovers a willow chest filled with her paternal grandparents' correspondence after her Grandmother Marusya's death. Thus begins acclaimed Russian writer Ulitskaya's (The Big Green Tent, 2014) expansive novel about the complications of human lives and repeating generational patterns, set against a backdrop that skips across a century of tumultuous Russian and Soviet history . . . Ideal for devotees of Russian literature and epic tales." --Booklist

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. One of Russia's most renowned literary figures and a Man Booker International Prize nominee, Ludmila Ulitskaya presents what may be her final novel. Jacob's Ladder is a family saga spanning a century of recent Russian history-and represents the summation of the author's career, which has been devoted to sharing the absurd and tragic tales of twentieth-century life in her nation.Spanning the seeming promise of the prerevolutionary years, to the dark Stalinist era, to the corruption and confusion of the present day, Jacob's Ladder is a pageant of romance, betrayal, and memory. With a scale worthy of Tolstoy, it asks how much control any of us have over our lives-and how much is in fact determined by history, by chance, or indeed by the genes passed down by the generations that have preceded us into the world. The modern Tolstoy presents a family saga spanning a century of Russian history. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
