Metro Stop Dostoevsky

A wonderful book! Captures relationships; explores in thoughtful and insightful ways,the way one's own struggles for identity are the same and different as those from another culture. Intimate and personal but placed in a broader context as well. A very soulful, moving memoir.

The hopes and despairs of real Russians

This is a marvelous book about the lives of ordinary Russians in the "New Russia" Ingrid Bengis has the rare aqbility to make you feel you are participating in a chat around the kitchen table in a Russian apartment.With her background in Russian literature and History she brings valuable insights intoboth what has changed and what remains the same as always in Russia.As a person who has made many trips to Russia I felt in reading the book I was back with old fiends sharing their frustrations.Above all the book is beautifully written and a pleasure to read.
